Yeah, I know.............weirdest title ever!

I took this photo yesterday, but I'd been waiting to take it for about six weeks. The building sits on a busy main road on the approach to Southsea. There are very few places to park and so I kept driving past, thinking I'd could always get the shot next time I was in the area. Yesterday I spotted a parking space. I parked up and walked back a 100 yards or so and to my dismay noticed that the owner had built a door in the wall and ruined the artwork. How inconsiderate! Nevertheless I decided to take the photo anyway. Note to self: Never wait too long to get the shot, it may not be there when you go back :-)))

The wording on this wall used to read "Phone your Mum (she worries)"

Oh well......................

Note: The original artist is "My Dog Sighs". Another example of his (or her) work can be found here: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/45531378/in/album/385235

A great piece of graffiti. What a pity it got chopped. The door isn't even that attractive. Although I suppose you could enjoy trying to complete the missing part of the message. But I'm glad you could fill us in. I've often done that drive past till another time. Things you see and there's nowhere to park.

I will disagree with you, Keith. The incomplete graffito could be more interesting than the full one - perhaps!
