You have all heard of the expression 'like painting the Forth Bridge' to indicate a never ending task. Well they are just about to complete painting it!

I'll probably dead the next time they paint it in 25 years time.
My understanding is they have spent the last 10 years repainting the whole structure to last 25 years.
One's a suspension bridge in San Francisco and the other's a cantilever bridge in Edinburgh, but apart from that I can see the similarity
Golden Gate Bridge - Forth Rail Bridge
It spans the Firth of Forth, just up the coast from you :rolleyes:
Help 'em out, anyone got a bit of decorating to tide them over?

I think they could have some spare reddish paint about them so they could be on to another job soon.
Great, they can do the front of my house now.
