Were in the Bowels of the building, and were a dark dank rather unwholesome experience, only for the really desperate.

What didn't help is that they were covered in Graffiti (Of the normal kind, written in industry standard sharpie marker). In the gentlemens conveniences the tone was typically bums willies and anatomical drawings, in the Ladies, so I'm told there were long discussions about reproductive rights and ethics. Well someone had a bright idea (So they thought) to stop the free discussion of ideas. They reasoned that if the graffiti was in black marker pen, if they painted the walls with black paint, this would stop graffiti as it wouldn't show up.

Wrong.

The university did not realise that tippex in correction pens can be used to good effect, and does not stop the creative flow. Within a few weeks the walls were adorned in many thoughts of the young and idealistic, in easy to read white on black. If I recall the content of the ideas didn't change significantly.

Length, well most of the authors claimed to be at least 12, but judging by the writing style they were considerably less mature.
