My late father used to have a plastic thingy that you clipped onto a paint tin so you could run your brush across it to remove access paint from the brush, Anyone here know if these are still made if so where could i buy one please.

Well these things do exist but frankly they dont perform well and are a waste of money, firstly you should never work directly from the original tin/container.
Treat yourself to a set of plastic paint kettles which you probably could obtain from the same site as where you intend to purchase your brushes, some of these come with sealable lids so if available go for them. After you have both shaken and stirred your paint decant around a third into your kettle, thin and stir if needed and you are now ready to charge your brush.
Dip your brush into the paint allowing a top clearance of around 1" this will ensure that the stock of the brush is not charged with paint, then draw your brush against the inner edge of the kettlle turning it once or twice and repeat this one more time, now your brush is fully charged and your ready to go.
Dip your brush into your paint around 4cm and firmly and briskly tap your brush on both inner sides of the kettle, this should ensure that any excess paint has been removed. This advice is based on trim paints yet the a very similar method for emulsions.
