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.

Angels and DemonsWhen I was a wee nipper, attending the local scumbag comprehensive, someone wrote SATAN followed by a distinctly wonky pentangle in foot high white letters on a wall oposite the school entrance. Despite endless wearied scrubbings by the caretaker, the letters lingered on, providing a ghostly, but fairly accurate greeting for school visitors.
Years later, this motif was repeated to somewhat greater and more stylish effect whilst I was attending the University of York. Someone painted a series of bleeding angels and victorious demons, complete with bloodied footsteps all the way up along the entrance way to the library. Angels were certainly a theme in York, where even the pedestrian figures painted on the cycle/footpath acquired wings from time to time.
Once, whilst visiting Brough, a strong contender in a defintive arse-end-of-nowhere competition, I saw my only ever piece of pro-golf grafitti: 'Go Tiger Woods!'.
