It was 'neo-opiate' and it was on the wall outside a school at the Harrow-on-the-Hill end of Kenton Road - correct? If so, I claim my £5

It was indeed between Kenton and Harrow but I recall it being on a wall in the middle of a roundabout rather than on a school. I also think you might be right on the "neo-opiate" bit. It was strange - a sophisticated message in a rather brutish scrawl.

Well you're right it was on the roundabout and the wall was a low affair with railings above adjacent to the pavement facing the actual centre of the very large roundabout. I drove past it everyday for donkey's years. Not now though! Yippee!

I remember as a child getting the train into Liverpool with mummy dearest and coming past Edge Hill there was daubed on a wall alongside the train tracks, "Free George Jackson" a satirical comment from Brookside nevertheless, someone added the line, "with every box of Cornflakes"
