    Metal scourer or wire wool, sugar soap with hot water plus lots of elbow grease should get it off eventually.

    I've tried this before as a previous owner painted all the concrete fence posts and concrete gravel boards in our garden. It did come off but i gave up after the first gravel board as it was too much like hard work.

    Next time put newspaper or cardboard down then it doesn't matter so much if you drip!

    If the Ronseal is water based it should easily come off by using a pressure washer.Should still work if it is oil based but might take a little bit longer.Worked for me removing paint and stain from patio slabs left by previous owners of our house.

    An angle grinder with a masonary blade works well. Just use it as a sander and go over the paint. Doin't push hard as it will cut into the concrete. Very quick.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
