I've got a few paint related websites with customers and we were thinking of...

Hyper Global Mega Paint Corporation Ltd.

In the words of Julian Clary - it has a nice ring to it, don't you think ?

Reverting to our "Golden Oldies" thread...

"As if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared."

(And that was a well-known phrase from WHICH programme please, fellow fossils?)

Funkii - Not sure I even saw the van, my Dad did. And that was maybe 8 years ago, so maybe they're not around anymore. But I wish them luck!
