PICTURE THIS

 

Graffiti nuisances.

Shocking behaviour, wouldn't you say? All this writing on walls. Give it an Italian name and that makes it all right, I suppose? Ah well. The folly of the young. Where do they come up with these notions? To escape to another place, pick and click a graffito (or several of the blighters if you like) from the dreadful scrawls above. 

And stop staring at the wall! Signing off

Yours in puzzlement, - C Duggan-Smith esq WMC
