A man has been arrested after painting a Hampshire Royal Mail postbox gold in honour of Olympic sailor Ben Ainslie.

Rob Smith, 51, said he painted the postbox in Lymington, where the gold medallist lives, in the early hours.

He said he was upset Royal Mail had announced it would only paint a postbox gold in Cornwall, where Ainslie grew up.


It's called 'giving him the BRUSH-off' :-)



I thought he lived in BRISTLE!


PAIGNTON wasn't it :-)



Coate!


I'm extremely tempted to add 'Gloss-tershire', but i'm not going to.


I'm too overcome with emulsion to comment...so I'll just varnish into thin air.


That's the SPIRIT but if you're going out don't forget your UNDERCOAT as it's a tad chilly out.


Is that the end of the MATTer?


It's been a bit of a WHITEWASH even though I feel I'm treading on EGGSHELLs!



It was a PRIME target!


Ahhhhhh we've done that one already VBB. You'll have to reDECORATE now.


Fancy! He was in that cartoon TOP COAT!


With guest appearance by Basil BRUSH...boom boom!
