When I woke up this morning
the paint had run, despite the average drying time of four hours, and
spread with a milk like consistency over the concrete paving slabs of
my patio.

My question is: how can I remove the paint from the concrete paving
slabs and restore them to there original council house "goodness"?

Was it more than 4 hours before the rain started? If it was ring the
number on the can and tell them you want some help. (Or even if it
wasn't, they should be able to advise you. If it was you might be able
to talk them into adice and free paint.)
