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.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
