just the place to buy paints (DULUX Paints)
You may need a bit of time when buying paint. There’s the right paint to choose (and Holts have a DULUX paint for every purpose) and there’s the right colour (Holts have hundreds of lovely DULUX colours). There’s the right advice you’ll need and this you’ll surely get from Holts friendly, knowledgeable paint experts.
Holts is a good place in which to buy paints, plenty of space in the store to shop in comfort, and plenty of space outside for car-parking.
ARE YOU PAINT-LAZY?
Keep summer days free by painting your house now with DULUX Lo-Gloss.
Dries in 20 minutes, second coat can be applied within an hour.
Can be used in damp uncertain weather conditions and so easy to use that a normal house could be painted on a weekend. Or you can paint after work, even dewfall won’t affect Lo-Gloss. And tough and durable DULUX Lo-Gloss is an acrylic plastic – you may not need to paint again for seven years or more.
For inside walls and ceilings use DULUX Super-Latex – another so easy-to-use DULUX paint.

MOTORISTS –
– Take a Tip from ROBBIE
Check the battery water more often than usual during the hot summer days. The water evaporates faster in the excessive heat and can drop below the top of the plates in a week’s time. Maintain the water level ¼” to 3/8″ above the plates, but don‘t overfill otherwise it will bubble out of the vents.
Driver can proceed. The driver does not have to stop for a pedestrian on the other half of the crossing.
Pedestrian has right of way. Driver must stop for pedestrian crossing on his half of the roadway.
School Patrols
Vehicles from both directions must stop and remain stopped until the signs are withdrawn after the whole crossing is clear.
Do you know your obligations at pedestrian crossings? If a diamond shaped sign is marked on the roadway it indicates a pedestrian crossing ahead.
Adjust your own brakes? It’s difficult to remember from one adjustment to the next which way to rotate the adjustment wheel when you’re tightening the brake shoes. An arrow painted over each access slot will eliminate the confusion.
Want a bug screen for your radiator that doesn’t require framing or drilling holes? Try this: Cut a piece of screening to fit and tie it in place with thin copper wires passed through the core. The screen can be left on the car permanently. After you’ve fitted it keep an eye on the temperature gauge just in case the temperature of the engine begins to rise. The radiator may be partially blocked and the screen could restrict air flow sufficient to cause an increase in temperature.
