Beware the invisible paint

On my travels through Bethnal Green I spotted this sign to beware of the non-drying paint.

Nothing odd there you might think. While the concept of non-drying paint may seem simply anti-social, it’s probably not enough to warrant a mention here. What was more odd was the fact that there was clearly nothing painted anywhere in the vicinity. I even touched the fence to see if that had been coated, nothing.

Perhaps there’s a fatal flaw in the concept of non-dry paint – it all rubs off eventually. Bring back old fashioned drying paint I say, at least that way you know walls stay painted.
