Plain and simple vandalism. Not even nice letters. Can't they learn caligraphy or something, at least that would be more pleasing on the eye. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3546#post-37117 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 14:01:02 +0000 chdot 37117@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=TOARCH">Did you mean: TORCH</a>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3546#post-37112 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:51:17 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 37112@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>SPLITTERS!

Evidently there are either some copycats or a splinter group dissatisfied with the original misspelling. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3546#post-37092 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:08:23 +0000 kaputnik 37092@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If they could round up SINE, YEAH, OE, YOUTS, DEBT, TORCH and PAPERBOY, Edinburgh would be a better place for it. I saw (on Flickr) some Cooncil posters that had been put up in Leith, with examples of most of the above tags and asking for any information. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3546#post-37090 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:55:11 +0000 splitshift 37090@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>always did think that writting your name on a wall was kinda inviting pc murdoch and his mates to knock on your door !suspect it was an attempt to make graffiti into a real art form ! but then my views on that are not on the artists side ! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3546#post-37087 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:49:53 +0000 chdot 37087@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> School pupils helped police track their suspects through the use of distinctive tags.</p> <p>The 17-year-olds were traced by police after officers visited schools in the Bonaly, Colinton and Oxgangs area where the graffiti appeared.</p> <p>Pupils were able to point to the suspects from the distinctive tags - AERO, SB and DARE - which were sprayed on bus stops, road signs and telephone boxes.<br /> "</p> <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Teens-charged-over-graffiti-spree.6812183.jp" rel="nofollow">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Teens-charged-over-graffiti-spree.6812183.jp</a></p> <p>Probably better than hanging around (the police) on Marchmont street corners with speed cameras - no really! </p>
