That’s a cracker Mick.

Graffiti more like or vandalism.
My personal view it's awful. But other people may like it.

Comment by: Veronica on 8th November 2024 at 08:34

A poor imitation is all I can say.
Don’t give up being a layabout…

At least it's green, helping the environment.

I commented the other day about having some beautiful walks along the boroughs waterways, this does not look like one of them!
Interest photo though Mick, I don’t think thieves will be rushing to steal the shark.

Would have been funnier if the bloke was swimming away instead running.

I bet it will make passing boaters smile, and you've got to admit it does brighten up that old, crumbling, tatty industrial brick wall.
It's £5.00 plus for a can of spray paint so I don't know how the artists can afford them.

"Is there 'owt i'theer"?

Comment by: Irene Roberts on 8th November 2024 at 10:14

Is the "stick-man" figure on the wall to the right of the tree/bush supposed to be someone fleeing from the shark?

Comment by: Pat McC on 8th November 2024 at 16:42

Very funny Irene - I never even saw that little figure. Another visit to Specsavers for me I think!

Comment by: Elizabeth on 8th November 2024 at 17:37

Is there something in that building behind the wall and fence, which {{they}} don't want us folk to see ????

It seems to have a lot of security around it.

Comment by: Maureen on 9th November 2024 at 16:48

My comment it seems has done a runner.
