Patrick... what have you done?

2007.09.22

At the top of St Paul's Cathedral I found this graffitti.

I'm not one for saying that graffitti should not be allowed - sometimes it actually can be artistic, and sometimes even add some interest to otherwise dull journeys on trains! BUT I do draw the line on buildings of significant historical interest or worship being defaced like this.

Patrick, who cares if you were here? I was too and chose to record my time in a way that would not offend anyone else and furthermore will not mean someone else has to "remove" my being there.

In Birmingham, where I work, I have to walk past Birmingham Cathedral which is home to a multitude of young people skateboarding, rollerblading and sitting around on top of graves. Added to this the Catherdal itself has recently had a clean to remove graffitti from it.

So, this is not just something that affects London sadly.

Didn't want to use photoblog as a soap box to have a rant - but feel quite strongly about this particular subject! Am I alone?

cavist No Ed, you're quite right. Patrick is a tosser and should be banned from visiting places like this. I also do feel people should record their visits in a rather more civilized way - like taking a photo or simply memorizing the place they have visited.
