Graffiti was better in my day

I'm sure it wasn't the first time it's been done, but on the bog roll dispenser in one cubical of my old students union someone wrote:

Sociology degrees, please take one

Barbers near where I work is called 'Teds Rite Cut' and is opposite a pub.

Apparently it was once altered after closing time one night to 'Ted's a Rite '

I live near a place called ockbrook. Of course someone added a C to the start of the sign. Simple but it used to make me chuckle.

"Free the Indy 500"

Oh there is a town in Surrey called Addlestone which of course had a D added to the end or more or les every sign.

For some unknown reason, the one that said "Ron the Monkey is a sly fker" always made me laugh, near my school. No idea why.

I'm a fan of these ones too. In their stark simplicity they raise more questions than they answer. Who is Ron, why is he Ron the monkey, and what did he do that was so sly? And why did the writer feel the need to share this with the world? It opens up so many possibilities.

In a move that I think was inspired by being brought up on a diet of Nigel Rees toilet books, at the Reading Festival when we were 16 we stole a sign that said "Beware of Thieves". I still have it somewhere.

In a similar vein, written on the dispensers in UMIST toilets in the Barnes Wallis building:

"Man Met degrees, please take one."

Does anyone have anything that is actually funny or not photoshopped to share?

There's a little village just outside of Guildford called Artington.

An F is continually being added at the beginning. Makes me laugh. Simple things ah...

You must have missed my earlier contribution.

I used to work in the estates department at UMIST. I went in B&Q one night straight after work in my UMIST polo shirt. When I got to the checkout, the assistant said "UMIST...Scum!". I was a bit shocked and looked up; he said "Oh no, I don't mean the staff - the students think they're so much better than us at the Met (Manchester Metropolitan University) because their degrees actually count for something!". I think it was mostly in jest though. He told me that he plays rugby and when they played UMIST, they had set up a stall near the pitch with a load of scrolls on it and a sign saying 'Manchester Met Degrees - 99p Each'

My favourite was the local National Westminster Bank having their letters removed from the front and re-arraged to

National Best wk.

Happened regularly for a summer.

My favourite was a hotel I stayed at in Torquay; their sign kept being altered to read:

"FATTY OWLS"
"WARTY TOWELS"
"FLAY OTTERS"
"WATERY FOWLS"
"FARTY TOWELS"
"FLOWERY ttS"

I remember when as a lad in Runcorn the local taxi rank had their offices opposite, one of the despatchers was called Roy and was quite the character although most people couldn't understand a single word he said. This led to someone spraying above the office window, "Roy speaks swahili" which always amused me.
