"BigWallop" gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying:

It is commonly known in the UK as "Red Lead Paint".

No, it's not.

It's completely different stuff. The only similarity is the colour.


Red Lead Paint, doesn't really contain lead any more. It is not
environmentally acceptable now. So the Rd Lead Paint that they sell today
has copper added to it, instead of lead.

The paint you have described has copper added to the solvent / pigment
mixture, so sounds very much like the new Red Lead Paint we have in the UK.

Oh well. :-)
