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.

      Dulwich leisure centre? Zumba or Pilates there? I go to Zumba at forest Hill Pools... Pay as you go membership and its very inclusive all ages shapes and sizes. Ditto I find the leisure centre the same..I'm mid 60's by the way. I prefer gyms to schools..the rooms they do the classes in are custom built.

      Well, this is sad news.  Hopefully it won't go down the same path as The Palmerston when it changed hands.  That is from great to dismal, literally overnight.

      And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.

      Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
