Graffiti on shop shutters on Jack's off licence shop in Stroud G Rd
Who thinks that the graffiti which entirely covers the shop shutters which can be seen when Jack's off licence shop in Stroud Green Rd is closed at the junction of Albert Rd should be cleaned off by Haringey council on the basis that it is an eyesore.This graffiti isn't nice to look at it just looks a mess and it advertises cobra beer or something probably done with permission of shop owner then in years gone by. I'm sure the Haringey council would clean it off if the owner of the shop asked them to it is detrimental to the area and dowgrades the area. If it was something nice by sub dds or panik atg or king robbo wrh crew or DX then no complaints,but it isn't it just looks a bit cr-p and faded by the elements and a bit toys r us.

So, in summary, no.
You lot make me want to projectile vomit carrots into the smug faces of the bourgeouiszee of stroud green who all really want to live in crouch end or muswell hill but its cheaper in stroud green; and I haven't even eaten any carrots for ages,you always seem to puke up carrots even when you haven't eaten them 4 a long time for some reason,anyone know why? Back to the serious point.
It is out of order to single out individual businesses like you are doing here. Because they have a right to privacy.Leave shops alone.
Maybe you would realise that you are in private as badly-painted as they appear to be if you didnt spend so long in 9 to 5 conformity
If you care about shops then phone up the shopkeeper and have a chat about it to explain your concerns,like that halfwit who complained about graffiti,graffiti disappointed me a few times and I look the other way now, so what.But you won't because you just want to point and mock like kids going to bedlam to laugh at those who are maybe less artistically talented than yourselves shut up in a lunatic asylum or victorian freak show.
You can't be eccentric in England these days without dullard mrs mopp civil servants talking about you on a local community internet forum. I prefer graffiti to brushed steel and generally walking around muttering to myself,is this so wrong? I find it theraputic.
So ram me off the pavement with your yummy mummy £1000 buggies and try and run me down with your four by four volvo gas guzzlers and mock the colourfull eccentric shops of SG but we will not surrender to your conformity we are not crouch end or muswell hill where the less than perfect artworks are hosepiped off the shutters by the middle classes chattering classes disapproval we are struoud green where the mad the bad and Dr Legg from Eastenders circa 1985 live and travel on the w7. Dr Legg is my heroe actually...
It does make me feel those carroty bits come up whe nI see it, true.
@ADGS : I'm holding you partially responsible if we start seeing copycat rants springing up everywhere
White Rasta Man did spend a weekend about 10 years ago 'decorating' Jack's shutters. We assumed that he'd come back the next weekend to finish it. But, no.
White Rasta Man has also been at least partially responsible for the construction of the Ewok Village at FF. A cheeky mid week afternoon pint early last summer was spoiled somewhat by his drilling and banging. I love the Ewok Village tho'!
It took me about a year to work out that Jack is twins. I walked in and he was standing behind the til wearing a red turban. I reached into the fridge for some cans, turned around and he'd transported to the back of the shop and changed his turban to purple or something. I don't think I've seen the pair of them together again since.
...though there is something very wrong with your life when you find yourself doing your food shopping in Ikea.
