While I live in the arse end of Cheshire now (it's all shit except for Spike, who is awesome, etc), I'm actually from a shithole town called Skelmersdale, no doubt some of you will have heard of it. It's a very easy place to get round, as long as you're looking for a landmark, as it's all very well signposted. Signs point to Asda, the Concourse, the Swimming Pool, etc etc. It's the final one that this story refers to.

When we were younger, the sign saying "Swimming Pool -" was often changed a little, so it would say "Swim in Poo -", which is quite clearly genius. The sign would be fixed every month or so, and would usually last around 3-4 months before being changed again. Sadly, this stopped occuring after a while, maybe the vandals decided there was more fun activities, such as drinking on street corners, or fighting.

Earlier this year, a pretty pissed Agnostic is travelling on the bus back to his friends house, when he discovers he'll have to walk the final mile home. Unimpressed, and unable to call for a lift (due to dead phone), I started to walk. I had barely gone 5 minutes from the bus, when I noticed the old sign standing proud at the side of the road. I was rather disappointed to discover it was also still spelt correctly, just not funny!

So what did I do? Keys out of pocket, start scratching away the letters. Cars pass by, undaunted I continue.

Barely 5 minutes went by before I stood back to proudly observe my creation, and laugh at the sign, inviting you to "Swim in Po -".

Fuck, went too far.

This is a work of pure genius, mate
you should get a grant from the government for doing this sort of thing. Fuck knows that twat Banksy's made a packet from doing trite wank all over the place. At least this would give people a chuckle. click.

Ah, Congleton
where in a severe winter they're forced to eat their own young.

The current Mr Quar is from there. He moved away after his motorbike was set alight for the third time. Sometimes you have to take a hint.

I
Drive past that very sign on a regular basis. I often wonder who is responsible for such wonderful acts of vandalism.

Now I know.

Don't know about a Manchester bash, we nearly got enough for a Skem bash!
