Totally agree.

Blend in with the cars? Wow - I had no idea that Forest Hill Road was awash with psychedelic hippymobiles :-)

I hate them to be honest - they distract drivers and attract children to go near them and the road. I wish Southwark council would ask local residents' opinions about these things before going ahead.



I also have no idea what's green about using spray paints....

I have seen thr person painting them and if you look they are quite intricate and agreed the pattern is somewhat childish. Also I agree that they should be black hence my point that they are tacky! given that you think they should be black, that would suggest they are of colour i.e colourful....no? I am not quite sure at what point I agreed with their current design!

Is the cost of this coming from the council tax? If so, I am not surprised they are wasting money on this type of hippy nonsense. Since the council politics is at odds with central government politics yet again then front line services will be used as a political football.
I like them. Colourful and cheerful. Colour makes me happy. Nothing unique about black - just dreary and dismal. It's not bad art either, it's just different. I like the fact that artistic flair is being shown throughout East Dulwich. Certainly brings a smile to my face.

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
