The finest peice of graffiti I ever saw was many years ago in this very town sprayed onto a wall on a bridge underpass:
To be contemporary is to look ahead, not around.

I saw a photograph in the NZ Listener magazine of this graffiti painted onto a long corrugated iron fence:
Irony is the refuge of the wealthy.

One piece of graffiti I often see is stencilled in small letters on the footpath in town. It has an arrow about 5cm long and below it is written:
Gluten free
There are a lot of sparrows around that area.

Spotted in the lift in the Pschology Dept. at Uni:
Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

When I used to live in Greenwich, there used to be a single piece on the side of a red brick warehouse, near the Cutty Sark pub:
'Free the Kat', next to a sprayed image of a moggy. I thought it was well cool.

On the bridge at the bottom of Wellsway, Bristol, used to be writ large:
'Global politics? Not me, I'd rather nuke and go.'

On the A1 coming south into London used to be a sign that said:
"Golders Green 3"
Under which someone had painted:
"But to you, 2½"

Just down the road from where I live, behind a carpark, which a friend pointed out today:
Sorry, but this wall has been vandalised.

As an admirer of the aptly-placed urban art, my favourite still (no JPEG clip yet) is ones 30 years ago in old bog in Bristol University Wills M. Building ...
'My mummy made me a homosexual' ...'If I gave her the wool, would she make me one too?'.
'Nostalgia ain't what it used to be'.
I know these are old, but I like a good verbal graffito.

It must be geographical. They did the rounds in the Bath bogs too. I refer (of coarse) to the graffitiists not the homosexuals.

There used to be a "speak-your-weight" set of scales in Dartford train station (of all places) onto which someone had written:
"I whisper your weight."
Which I thought was very funny.
Also I once saw in an Islington pub a condom machine that had as part of its instructions: "turn knob sharply to left, then right" to which someone had replied "if you're going to do that you don't really need a condom"

One I remember was around Fulham on a railway bridge some 25+ years ago - the ubiquitous "Jesus Saves," under which some wag had added "with the Woolwich."
