No problem Helen can put it up again if you want. Some of his supporters once dug up the wicket a day before a test match. This link shows another slogan so maybe you have seen another one mrprogress news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/aug ust/19/newsi...

Helen put the link to Wikipedia up and said I was going to put it up at the end and so she deleted it.

I think I have led you down the garden path mrprogress. It's in Limehouse I'd say

mrprogress says:

Grrrr! :-) No...... I know what area and I am fairly sure it is on a busy route around there (maybe A13 way near the link) but thats it.

Bravo 99 Graffiti [deleted] says:

Sorry Mr P ;-) My guess was based on the road sign and not the graffiti. There are a few of these scrawls around this bit of town, I remember looking at a similar picture in Loopzillas stream... :)

But do you know who G Davis was? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Davis_(armed_rob ber)

Capo2 says:

He wasn't so innocent a year after his release when he got caught red-handed trying to rob the Bank of Cyprus on Seven Sisters Road (a fact which is curiously missing from the Wikipedia entry).

cakehole says:

That's an incredible story, and I'm amazed it's still up there after such a long time. I wonder if any of the graffiti we're all snapping these days will be around in thirty years. Great find!

Radio 4 Last Word yesterday 6/2/09 had a obituary for Rose Davies, the wife George Davis. Very interesting listening including an interview with their son. Rose vehemently believed her husband was innocent and was devastated when soon after his release as Capo2 says when he was caught red handed robbing a branch of the Bank of Cyprus
