once upon a timei used to live in Birmingham, and I used to take great delight in the football loving brummie humour.
On bus stops the Birmingham City fans would write 'BCFC', then with a certain inevitability, the Aston Villa fans would write underneath 'ARE SHIT'.
The invariable response was
'Villa scum - get out of brum'
This was on every bus stop in birmingham for about two years, and they NEVER thought up any other replies
(*note, this is about the footy fans, not birmingham, which I still love, even though it has got that huge blue thing in digbeth now which seems to have swelled every time I come back from Londinium)

only other classic i can think ofwas in a public loo in macclesfield, and it was written so that the text crawled up from the urinal in spindly letters, right up the wall to the join with the ceiling.
It said:
While your [sic] reading wot i've put you might be pissing on your foot.
And I was.
