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.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
