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.

    • 1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.    
    • My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger. 
    • Worth calling ahead as sometimes they can’t accept large donations
    • Thanks, I'd thought about that, but I'd still have to park, and it's very near a bus stop. Good idea to call the shop and see whether/when there may be less busy times to go, thanks.
