FOUND THIS ONE YESTERDAY...THE BLOKE HAD USED IT TO JOIN A ROOF TO A WALL????  CANT REALLY MAKE OUT WHAT IT SAYS  AS ITS UPSIDE DOWN...20 MINS LATER AFTER PULLING AN TRYING TO BALANCE ON AN 8FT WALL I GAVE UP AND HAD TO LEAVE IT.. "ALL FOR THE LOVE OF ENAMELS EH"...IT WASNT SUCH A BAD DAY THOUGH AS I WALKED AWAY WITH A VICTORIAN LAMP POST..

Looks like it could be the top edge of a BATEY'S sign. (Looks like the top of the letters 'BATE' visible there.) On looking again, perhaps it's more like a 'P' than a 'B'! Maybe the word is 'PATENT'?

By, you're a strong lad if you walked that lamp post home !

THE WORD IS PATENT,,QUITE A PLAIN SIGN ABOUT 3ft LONG..THE LAMP POST STEVE WAS EASY,,IT TOOK 2 OF US TO LIFT IT ON THE TRUCK...THE HARDEST PART WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO HER INDOORS WHY IDE COME HOME WITH A LAMP POST...ha ha...SHE NICKNAMED ME "STEPTOE"...CANT THINK WHY??

its a Spratts..
