Best Graffiti EverMy favourite was a public loo in Oxford where someone had written a huge poem all down the cubicle door. Best bit? Someone else had added detailed literary criticism. Only in Oxford. Have you seen better? Worse? Do tell.

When I was wee......I spent most summers on Brownie Camp, in a farmhouse-type thing that was used for all sorts of things. Perfectly idyllic place - sheep in the fields, water fights in the brook, more stick insects in the bathrooms than you could shake a erm... stick at, and so on and so forth. Good times.
Little Brownies slept in sleeping bags on mattresses in Dorm 1, which had a seriously grotty loo and managed to be cold even in summer. Bigger Brownies slept in sleeping bags in Dorm 2, which had bunkbeds, a slightly nicer bathroom, and a spirally-type staircase.
Why did the the older ones get the bunk beds? Because of a very large piece of graffiti on the bottom of one of the top bunks, which had apparently resisted all the increasingly desperate attempts at removal. It consisted of two robots, in what yours truly thought of at the time as "a rather unfeasible position", and the immortal verse:
If I were a robot
And you were one too
I'd give you a bolt
If you'd give me a screw
I slept in that dormitory three years running, and it was there every single year, in seemingly pristine condition. Probably still there if the place is still standing!
