Block paving is a stupid idea to be fair.

Tell that to the Romans, who conquered Europe because of it!!

I've not seen many people weeding the cobbles in Durham and re sanding them.

Or painting them over.

I bet in some parts of the County of Durham, housewives still scrub and white wash their front steps everyday, in their pinny's.

More complain that they want the decking replaced with composite stuff.

Woman revamps patio using £20 B&Q paint & people can’t believe the difference

A SAVVY woman revamped her drab patio using just a lick of paint from B&Q – and the difference is incredible. The Mrs Hinch fan shared snaps of her paving slabs to Facebook, which had bec…

Not reading the Sun like, but is that not an advert?

You’re now in the law of Sod with paint. If you put it on deliberately it won’t last, if you put it on accidentally you’ll never get it off.

This is the tabloid equivalent of when someone used to ring Alan Robson to tell him (and the insomniac listeners of the North East) that they had a nice sandwich.

That’s paid-for marketing by B&Q and should really state ‘advertorial’, but they rarely do.

As someone who regularly gets approached to run these sort of articles on RTG that was certainly my first impression.

Unfortunately a lot of ‘editorial’ and ‘reviews’ that you see on the web is actually paid for advertising. I insist that any such articles here are marked as sponsored and the result of that is we haven’t run anything on here for several years now as the agencies won’t accept that!

It will chip and peel in a few months. Will she be in the paper then saying how great she thinks she is? I bet she wont be. Shouting her mouth off when things are going well, but just you wait woman.....just you wait.

In a few months she will be telling us how her new pressure washer from b&q helped blast off her old flaking paint and revealed beautiful bricks underneath.

A wifey in Perkinsville does! I've seen her out in her pinny scrubbing her step.

This will look shite in 2 months. The paint will flake and turn her back garden into a snow storm.
She's used masonry paint not made specifically for floors so it weather resistant but not very hard wearing.

A mates lass is a real "Hincher" and one day she ripped out the stair carpet, painted the wood grey and stuck smashed up CDs on the risers.
It was a complete mess, but she was all over facey showing it off, with the usual false comments.
Once a few days had passed, the paint all started coming off, the smashed CDs started falling off and the whole house boomed whenever someone used the stairs.

She's got carpet again now.
