Anyone care to join me in referring to it as a 'muriel'?

You know, what Hilda Ogden of Coronation Street used to call she and Stan's indoor wall painting?

When Coronation Street was worth watching and no one called it 'Corrie'.

That was that bloody nuisance of a lead singer from Echo & The Bunnymen, Ian McCulloch who coined that, I reckon, I recall the NME interview when he banged on about it.

I quite like him really, but he shouldn't have started that old Corrie shite up.

I live very close to it and I'm sorry but I don't like it. I agree with a previous post that it could possibly encourage others to do the same around the neighbourhood. Makes me feel like I live in the hood. Not every area in every city needs to be marked with expressionist crap.


Encourage breast-feeding...please...

I think it's a little odd but colourful, and until the originator decides to give us his interpretation of what he was all about, then I'm a little in the dark.

I assume whoever's house it is on the side of, gave permission for it to be applied there.

It doesn't look like a spontaneously applied graffito.


Also isn't every neighbourhood a 'hood' somewhere?


Just like when taking a drink at any time, it's always five o'clock elsewhere in the world?

Follow suit to paint something you like on the side of another house?

It wouldn't be so bad, would it DG?


And as for encouraging breast-feeding, maybe the original artist was conducting one of those 'viral' thingummy do-dabs that we plain folk don't really get but influence our choices.


I mean you never know, do you? Frankly I'd not put it past them.

Since the muriel has been up, I've seen two new examples of tagging within two minutes' walk of it. One is on Goodrich Road, on the side of a house near the lock up garages, just before Barry Road and the other is on the wall of Summerhill school. I'll report both to the council on Monday.

I noticed one of those today.


Re the original one from this topic - It must surely have been done by the owner of the house as it was started in broad daylight a couple of Saturday's ago by a couple of people, maybe three... I saw them doing it... was a female doing the painting at the time I went by...

I think awilliams123 is asserting that A) bottle-feeding leads to anti-social behaviour such as graffiti and B) therefore we should all encourage more breast-feeding in an effort to hold back the tide of such undesirable behaviour.


I'm not commenting on the validity of this belief in any way, merely interpreting the post.

      This is the point, this is an increasingly large scale event in the wrong location.

      Sunlit uplands. Are we there yet?

      So Boris Johnson goes on an unhinged rant about the deal using violent gimp imagery (an image repeated by other brexiteers), and I comment on it but it’s MY language you are policing? how come it’s not Johnson and his language you  are commenting on?

      Face painting for an hour next Sunday

      By rachelz · Posted

      Is there anyone who does face painting who would be available to come to a children’s party next Sunday 25 May from 11-12ish? It’s a Frozen theme- about 10 kids or so. Please get in touch with more details and an idea of price if so. Many thanks

      Nope that concern predates the Jerk festival.  But I am talking about when I first moved to SE London and some locals complained that the nice music was too loud. Separately some people are still moaning about the Jerk festival,  Felt some comments were (casual) racist, but that is a different subject matter. That day was great,  A victim of its own success. A kin to Fatboy Slim playing a free festival on Brighton beach, tens of thousands went but it took a long long time to clean up.
