    We have a mix of a new and old plain clay roof tiles.

    Any idea how we can speed up the darkening of the new tiles to match the old tiles.

    I would thought you would have more luck lightening the old ones.

    Well I dont wish to be crude but a traditional method is to rub some cow sh#t on them

    You could get the robins, starling, wagtails, and any other avians to shit all over it, but don't tell Natural England they'll have HSE on it like a shot.:wink:

    ''Yoghurt, shit and sugar. Worked for me''.

    How can you tell a pessimist?

    Prunes with the All-Bran.

    (But I guess Yoghurt, shit and sugar would work as well - at least as an emetic, if not a laxative!!)
