I get so much stick when I give examples from Google.Search or Wiki. I left it up to you.


You have to read between the lines.

Distraction is one of the biggest causes of road traffic accidents.


This can be drivers using maps, mobile phones and in the States (USA) road side billboards (advertisements).

Also even people engaged in deep conversation.


It does not take a lot of working out that ANY roadside advert / unusual art work is liable to cause

a certain level of distraction and therefore increases the risk of an accident.

Drivers are more distracted than ever before - and taking your eyes off the road for just 2 seconds increases accident risk 24 times


So driving passed a work of art and giving it a 2 second glance..

Not come across that before but a quick google :-


http://www.brandrepublic.com/article/12546/opium-poster-banned-record-complaints


It was Banned.


Protestors denounced the ad as ?porno chic? and degrading to women,

road safety campaigners feared that the posters could distract drivers and cause accidents, and councillors and parents complained that the ads were displayed too close to schools.

Anyone who drives and/or has a tuppence worth of commence sense would be able to work that out.

Blimey KK, stick, wrong end, getting hold of...


DF wrote "Show some respect to your neighbours. Not everyone wants to live in a ghetto", to which I responded "Maybe 'show some respect your neighbours' by not being a tool". Really Foxy? You think ED is being turned into a ghetto? Do you feel that you are personally being disrespected?


KK, you asked 'Would respect for neighbours only be demonstrable in ED if there were absolutely NO murals, or only if there were murals that had gone up with 100% approval from 'the neighbours' (and please clarify if that includes passers-by).


Clearly Foxy thinks so.

Wrong again MrBen.. It was Ruffers that brought up Sofie Dahl.. Selective reading always lets you down.

Ingrid, a possible suggestion - the calligrapher Seb Lester was asking for a mural space earlier this year. He does really beautiful typographic pieces - it's hard to imagine anyone not liking them.


He said: "I really want to do a big mural this year. A big piece of art, most probably a beautiful and inspiring quote, on a big wall somewhere. The location could be in the UK, or somewhere in Europe possibly. I'm thinking maybe roughly 3 metres by 6 metres. I would be grateful for any suggestions on where I could do that, legally obviously."

That's quite cool.. A hint of M.C Escher. The Dutch graphic artist. 17 June 1898 ? 27 March 1972


It's clever and incorporates the structure of the building with the illusion of depth..

One could believe it was real.


A lot nicer than that ghastly 'cartoon' bee. with its 'brash' colours.


There needs to be more consultation before any work is allowed to be carried out.

A female street artist is going to paint the wall where the bee was from 20 September for about 3 days. She is MadC, and the wall owners love what she proposes to do. It is based on another painting in Dulwich Picture Gallery. Lets hope people love it. I think they will!

Lovely. I appreciate that we have people organising all this art - i don't always love it, but I'm not supposed to. I went to the Summer Exhibition on Saturday and there was some very challenging 'art' (going for ?????) amongst some beautiful bits, buts that's my opinion not everyone's.


It's one thing having an opinion - that's what makes us all individuals. It's downright rude to hammer home time and time again (from the comfort of your keyboard), how much you despise something.


Thank goodness for IngridB and her artists - thank you! :)

Whatever made you think that paint damages walls??? That particular wall has been in a very bad state for a long time. The owners think it was from when the house next to it (which is now a carpark) was bombed in the last war and an internal wall became an exterior.


The street artists in this project mainly use exterior masonry paint which actually protects the wall.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
