little jim Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 A while back we used to often see a notice around the place, aimed at keeping the place tidy, saying 'Bill posters will be prosecuted'. Some time later we would see written across the notice# 'Bill Posters is innocent!' # suspect the author was an ace at cryptic crosswords. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Or perhaps the separatist graffiti scrawled on the bridge as one crossed the border reading "Free Wales" to which some wag had added 'with every three gallons' ....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Or written on a Ladies toilet door( the outside to a concourse) at one of the concert venues “My mother made me a lesbian !” and then in different writing and ink... “if I got her the wool could she make me one ?” Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing the same written about “Astrid Proll”, a 1970’s terrorist who got arrested. “Free Astrid Proll” graffiti ended up with “With every three gallons” added to it. (What ever happened to free gifts with every 3 gallons of petrol?) I once had a spate of being stopped by the police in the 1970’s. (3 times in one week in Leamington Spa.) I remember asking a policewoman why she had stopped me. “Because I think that your car looks unroadworthy” she replied. So I said “Well, I might think that you look like Astrid Proll, but that doesn’t mean you are a German terrorist.” I thought it might make her smile. Instead she then proceeded to inspect every aspect of my car looking for something to do me for. Charlie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Remember also around the 70’s posters up warning folk to be alert (to the terrorist threat)...... someone added "because Britain needs more lerts!" Think my all time favourite was back In Liverpool in the 60’s.... A very imposing church had stuck up a huge poster "What will we do when the Lord comes"?..... ..... some scally had written underneath "move St John to inside left!"......... (Ian St John was centre forward for Liverpool FC at the time) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 A poster proclaiming 'I love grils' somebody crossed out the grils and inserted girls it read 'I love grils girls' Somebody wrote beneath 'no body loves grils anymore' Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 There was one on one of the bridges over the North Circular road back in the 1970`s, it read "M Khan is bent" Whoever had sprayed it had to have climbed down over the side of the bridge above two lanes of very fast moving traffic Stuart.

It gained significant notoriety over the years. I first heard about it as a teenager in the '90s, on the comedy show "The Mary Whitehouse Experience".

james christie Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 On a church notice board in Eastbourne a talk was advertised entitled « There’s a Good Time coming » to which a wag had added « but it will be a good time coming» or in the USA « Henry Kissinger should be bloody well hung » to which someone had added «He already is », signed « his wife » james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
