There was a big banner outside a lical takeaway in hyde park Leeds (the posh one near the interntional supermarket if you know it) Said 2 pcs chicken and chips 99p

Someone had been along with a marker to make it read (probably more accurately)

2 pcs "chicken" and chips 99p

Made me chuckle.

I always remember going to London on the train on the Liverpool Street line when I was young, there was some graffiti on the wall at the trackside that said "Don't buy The Sun". It always confused me at the time, but remembering it now makes me chuckle.

My local council has a wall of shame on their website where you can grass up graffiti perpetrators based on their tag.
I know a guy who cleans it up for Birmingham council. They take a photo of each tag before removing it, the image is loaded into a database and then some clever software identifies all the tags that are the same. If they ever catch the culprit he can then be charge for each instance of criminal damage.

Somewhere right up in the north of Scotland in the middle of nowhere on roads near Cape Wrath there was a road sign I spotted which simply had "jobbies" spray painted on it, no idea why or who, but it did make me laugh.

This is the sign on Canal Street in Manchester's beefer village. The gayers have covered the 'C' and 'S' to make 'ANAL TREET'!

The sign for the Canal Museum in Stoke Bruerne has been similarly doctored biggrin

Isn't the apostrophe to indicate that the drawing of a heart is an abbreviated form of writing the word heart in full ?

No.

They wrote the heart in full, it did not have a part of the heart missing (see photo) it wasn't abbreviated. It either means singular "heart = love" or plural "hearts = loves". To write "heart's cock" means the heart owns cock, in which case, Albany Park may indeed take ownership (possesive) of one or several cock (s).... but that makes little, or no, sense, to the same degreee a Business Park in Surrey loves cock - little or no sense.

My view is that, the poor little inbreds place wanton apostrophes (no apostrophe because it's plural) all over the ing shop - just in case. Which simply isn't (with apostrophe because it's abbreviated) good enough - probably a GollyWog wrote it or something.... I dunno, you think too much and it's late. :|

In Dublin at the entrance to the Grand Canal Docks there is a large sign that says....well
"Grand Canal Docks".
One night on the way home from the pub drunk my flatmate and I moved the "C" and put it where the "D" should be.


Not vandalism as the letters were the type you could clip on/off like outside older cinemas.
He has the photos but haven't seen him in years.

yes Some people spatter punctuation over their writing as though they're spurting their hot, sticky gitpaste all over a polaroid of their mate's wife. It's just careless, and the whole thing strikes me as rather unseemly.
