Graffiti

[ssmart]

We've all probably heard of the great tongue-twisting bit of graffiti 'Ken Dodd's dad's dog's dead'. Has anyone seen any other real gems over the years that might compete with this?

My favourite is 'pubs not homes' scrawled onto a closed-down pub in Reading in the early 80s. The Star, as it was called, was popular with the local punks and it was closed and subsequently knocked down to make way for a business development rather than a residential one. But it's a nice sentiment.

One that occurs in a Tom Holt book rather than reality: "Someone had written "Godforsaken" on the roadsign between "welcome to" and "Caithness""

In a cubicle of the gents' toilets in Keele University Students' Union, just above the toilet paper dispenser was written 'Keele Arts Degrees - please take one'!

Not so much graffiti as signwriting, but I once saw on a van "Patel's Building Contractors - you've used the cowboys, now try the Indians"

In the ladies toilet "Lesbians are everywhere" and then underneath "But not in my knickers!"

You often see stuff written in the dirt on the back of vans, like "this van needs a wash" or "washed by Stevie Wonder".

I recently saw on the side of a scaffolding company's van 'make sure your next erection is in safe hands' !

Someone wrote in to a newspaper on the subject. On a white van covered in the usual soot, someone had used their fingers to write 'I wish my wife was as dirty as this van,' and then apparently underneath there was different writing, 'She is!'

On a toilet wall in The Porterhouse bar in Dublin:
Some come her to sit & think,
Others come to s**t and stink,
I come here to scratch my b***s
And read the writing on the walls.

On the back of a van in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada : " Test Dirt - Do Not Wash "

I've seen this written on the back of a dirty truck as I went up the motorway:

"Please drive quietly, refugees asleep."
