No.36 finally turned up in Blenheim Road yesterday, just past the Ford Centre and heading for the roundabout on Longmead Road. Except that it didn't, this one actually being No.368 which at the present rate of progress might take some years to reach.
Faked up by using Snip & Sketch to cut out a piece of the right sort of white from between the 'L' and the '3', then pasting a few copies of the piece on top of the '8'. More difficult to do neatly that one might think, and the five sawtooth notches in black, top middle of the plate, have been damaged.
The patch used can be seen top right, where it looks a long way from the white of the plate, but when you move it to the plate, from whence it originally came, it matches. Yet another example of the trickery of colour vision.
I tried using the white pencil in the Snip & Sketch tool to do the same job. The upside of this was that the blotting out was much neater, the downside was that the white was quite the wrong sort of white, and the result was poor, compared with the effort above. And Snip & Sketch does not seem to include the full range of colour that you are offered within one of the Office tools.
