CHILDISH TRIVIA: Graffiti IV

Thanks to my sis Emma for reminding me of these.

Blackheath, London;

BE COOL - BUT CARE
HAPPY NEW YEAR (in 12-foot letters)
MAY THE LONG TIME SUN SHINE UPON YOU (oh, very Steve Hillage! - this was circa 78)
She thinks they have gone but I would suggest that undergrowth has, er, overtaken them.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SLADE?

has vanished from the Harleyford Road wall at the Oval cricket ground after nearly three decades.

She reports that

BIG DAVE'S GUSSET

is still proudly in place at London Bridge, although no news on

SAMANTHA LARKIN (five foot letters, same location). Reader, I hope she married him.

Also, the wonderfully enigmatic TUBE WALKED THE LINE is still visible on the elevated line between Loughboro Jc and the Elephant.

Fictional graffiti corner:

FUCK KOFF.

From Martin Amis's Money. "Who's Koff? (...) yeah, well fuck him anyway".
