A North Wales man has the most boring job in Britain - and says he loves it!

Keith Jackson spends his days watching paint dry, reports the Daily Mirror.

Mr Jackson, 57, stares at the surface for hours, occasionally prodding it with his finger to see how it's getting on.

He explained: "It's particularly important. We made the paint for the floors of the London Underground. It could only be put on from 3am to 5am.

"Once down it had to dry hard enough and fast enough for people to walk on."

Mr Jackson is technical manager for Aquatic Coatings in Wrexham, North Wales.

Director Anthony Kershaw said: "Drying speed is crucial. Keith times how long it takes."
