Made my day......
Made my day......
Completely watch unrelated but this has made my day. Our local gaol (jail) has been threatened by developers who want to turn the site into luxury apartments. However, over the weekend a figure appeared climbing down the wall. Today a certain Banksy confirmed that it’s his work. The piece is worth a lot and certainly throws the spot light on the campaign to turn the gaol into an arts hub. Fitting as it’s where Oscar Wilde was imprisoned and inspired him to write the Ballard of Reading Gaol.

It’s also left a few red faces as the security cameras hadn’t picked him up.

That's cool. Perhaps Banksy painted the security cameras LOL

The excuse given by the Ministry of Justice is that a camera was out of order.

This is superb.
Last summer my wife and I found ourselves in Bristol and set out to see the Banksy art around the city. Although we knew there were other street artists to see we could not believe the quality of the art around he city. I recommend a visit. My non Banksy favourite...
