[SOC] Going to Wal-Mart By Age

[Colin Topping]

Back in March I was painting antifoul on my boat while it was in the boat 
yard on blocks. Antifoul is a paint you put on the parts of the hull that 
are in the water to stop marine growth eating into it.

Anyway, while I was crawling out from between the main keel and starboard 
bilge keel, the back of my shaven head rubbed against the wet paint.  Now 
this is no ordinary paint, but has a slight etching quality so that it binds 
into the preparation coat.  The others in the yard never told me about my 
blue head and let me drive off to the local TESCO our equivalent of Wal - 
Mart in the UK.

I couldn't understand why not only the check-out operators were laughing but 
also other shoppers. I had a blue head for about three weeks, the stuff is 
impossible to remove with any thinning agent.
