Fifty what...?
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the FRP The Paint Place Warehouse in Redbridge.
- Saturday, 20th of October 2018
- Led by Peter Van Tongeren
Three of us went down this sunny Saturday to help out the lads at FRP with their paint giveaway.
Babies, children and dogs
Customers could come in and browse the towers of tins of paint across two floors; so Peter provided guidance upstairs, Stefania labelled stuff downstairs, and I was on the door keeping back the (mostly civilised) crowds.
Evidently a fun day out for all the family, people brought along babies, children and dogs to have a nose around too.
"Fifty Shades of Grey"
The guys who work there ordinarily (recognisable from the layers of paint caked onto them) had the knowledge to quickly direct the customers on the types colours and quantity of paint they needed, including a lady who came in asking for “fifty shades of grey.” Turns out she wanted paint, not a book (nor to be beaten-up.)
After a few hours we drifted-off variously to play rugby, have an afternoon out in Richmond, or in my case, to repaint the kitchen with some free paint. Thanks FRP!!
GoodGym Redbridge will be back during the week to help them with whatever the aftermath there is from today. Sign-up here...
