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.

      To be fair, a pot of tea for one in a department store is a small pot, and you only get one cup or mug!

      CHERN Thai Cafe - Opening Times

      By Sue · Posted

      I know - we have been here lots of times since it first opened,  which is why we were disappointed that it was closed at a time it was supposed to be open, but with no notice to say why! I guess we will just  have to ask the reason at our next visit, but I'm not sure we will risk Saturday lunchtime again unless we find the closure  was an unavoidable one off ....

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.

      We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
