I would bet that everyone on here would agree with you, to me it;s as bad as chucking a brick through a window, it's a crime and should be dealt with as such.

Edmund Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Agreed! That so-called "artist" Banksy winds me up - the media now portrays graffiti as art. Italy have it worse than us, with world renowned architecture covered in it - when we went to Venice the Rialto Bridge was covered along with nearly everything else. I struggle to afford an aerosol can of paint to touch up car bodywork, I can't believe vandals pay full retail price for their cans, they must be shoplifted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any history about it? It might look like some random back alley, but I'm sure there plenty of history to it. We should be glad it's still there the way things are changing in the City Centre.

Yes I wondered what the history was, that's why I mentioned it Jamal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
