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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
