STripping the wallpaper in the kitchen they found lots of graffiti (it had once been a squat) including the words 'Mrs S died on the toilet', which they didn't think much about until they uncovered a papered over cupboard which had lots of junk inside including a crematorium urn full of ashes. Gave them a funny turn and they've never felt the same about the house!Kathleen Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645566938871914385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-61862314143388726382014-02-03T22:36:38.102+00:002014-02-03T22:36:38.102+00:00That's you under the floorboards?

The thought hadn't occurred to me before but, having recently uncovered some old stories and 'poetry' which I'd forgotten about, I too am glad that I wasn't ever in a position to embarrass myself by letting anyone else see them.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-48954217701364920942014-02-03T09:50:53.587+00:002014-02-03T09:50:53.587+00:00Great stuff, Nick, thanks.

I've found it as far afield as scratched on the back of a litter bin on an atrocious 'main road' in the old Yugoslavia, and inside a concrete pillbox on the desolate wilds of the Connemara coast which looked as if I was the first person to find and enter it since god knows what war. Not being a United fan, but being fascinated by such phenomena, I took to carving it myself, young vandal that I was. I managed it once (not distastefully obviously) in a picture postcard townette on the Swedish lakes, called Mariafred (which translates as Pax Maria or the peace of Mary, depending on your language of choice. It's not the name of a gender confused child). I wonder how many pictures of the mighty Ferguson will emerge from the lost-hope darkness of underground rooms over the next millennia?Jan Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823078224282953782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-17722439894095928602014-02-03T01:29:07.275+00:002014-02-03T01:29:07.275+00:00Love that idea!
