Spitting Bullets

I can't believe my eyes. I went along to John o Groats today and this is what I saw. I loved the old house there. It's just awful what's happened to it....what a mess.

Re: Spitting Bullets

That's almost criminal Roxy, what are the planners thinking of allowing such horrendous development? What on earth is it supposed to be?

Re: Spitting Bullets

I heard something about this on the news a while back, the 'street art' project is only a temporary thing .

The whole lot is being pulled down shortly to make way for a
£ 1.8 redevelopment including a museum ..

Re: Spitting Bullets

When I saw the photo I thought it was a wind-up . . . someone's been photoshopping the picture I thought . . . yeh, it's awful aint it . . . all in the name of fart - sorry - art.

As I've said before . . . the universities have alot to answer for and this is one example of "education" . . . I assume they were graduates of course.

Re: Spitting Bullets

I knew there was to be some sort of work to be done there Meg, but this paint job was a complete shock..........Everyone was grumbling about it. It's such a lovely unspoilt area but this has ruined the whole tone of the place. I'll be emailing the Council too.....let them know that I think they are a bunch of *<^*?! to let this happen.

I've visited that spot many times Roxy . . . It's a lovely place . . . the locals should get together some dark night with a few gallons of emulsion and paint rollers paint out the graffiti . . . they could do the whole lot in an hour.
