Hello from the other side of Denmark Hill.


I was recently asked if I would make postcards of the attached, which was originally a Christmas Card from 2019.


Slightly sweary, but clearly hitting a chord with many for some reason.


I'm also looking for similar graffiti around Dulwich and Herne Hill or anywhere in south London really so if anyone knows anywhere that may be suitable, please get in touch either by leaving a message or email me at [email protected].


By the way I am now selling these online at ?5/pack of 10.

If anyone would like some you can order them from the link above, where you can also see a better picture of the cards.


The first print run has almost sold out but I have more on order.



Thanks all.


Tom.

I loved the old school political graffiti, much sadly lost. Whatever happened to Slade on a wall by the Oval, supplemented by whatever happened to Terry Waite. The wall was demolished when they built a new stand at the ground. And not far away in Loughborough Junction. "Let's flip Thatcher in 1989". Got pressure washed off about ten years later. Should have been listed. Sadly no images on line. Here's some others (PS Clapton is not God, he's (allegedly) a racist). https://londonist.com/2015/01/10-london-graffiti-slogans-from-the-last-50-years


A nearby fave was by Horniman Gardens where someone had graffiti'd I'd like to X@!** your mother. The profanity had been amended to 'help your mother'. Nice one.

I remember being fascinated by the 'George Davis is Innocent' graffiti across London when I first learned to read in the 1970s. Back to present times, and there's a surreal bit of graffiti where someone has added 'to my b***s' to a 'No entry' sign on Acre Lane in Brixton which my children find hilarious.

    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.
    • These are the smokeless fuels you can burn on a open fireplace in Southwark: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels-php/england/ https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/environment/air-quality/reduce-air-pollution/reduce-smoke
    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
