they had a lot of immigrant workers from countries where the lavatory arrangements are different - the ladies would stand on the toilet and squat when they went, and it was common to find dirty shoe-prints on the seats.
So someone did some signs and stuck them up - "no use standing on the seat, the crabs in here can jump ten feet".
Has the added bonus of rhyme. Management took the signs down though, lest anyone got offended.

I saw a huge banner outside Tesco's that made me chuckle. It was an advert for doubling reward points if you bought petrol at their garage. It read "Pump up your reward points" and someone had written underneath "... and shag your mum". I bet they don't have things like that written in toilets at Oxfooord.

I'm taking a waz in the downstairs toilet of Prince of Wales Feathers, on Warren Street. The loo is pristine, not one bit of Graffiti, or so i thought until i knoticed somthing just to the left of the door frame. Upon closer inspection, as it was too small to read from the urinal, i found it to be a deep etching containing biro ink reading...
"Michael Jackson sucks cock"
roughly this big
|------------------------------------|
However, despite its minuteness, it had been etched in with such ferocity that it was obviously impossible to remove.
The most baffling part, for myself and those i sent to see it? What the fuck had Michael Jackson done to this poor guy.

quite a few years ago, and in brislington there was a newsagents with "D.Clutterbuck sales coke" written on it. I was never sure if D.Clutterbuck was the shopkeeper or a drug dealer.
some kids used to spraypaint the date on one of my mate's garage door. every time he tried to paint the garage door and get rid of the graffitti, those pesky kids would come along and write the new date in the old one's place.

...books contain many gems. Some of my favourites are:
By the toilet roll holder in one university toilet: 'Sociology degrees - please take one.'
By the lightswitch in the toilet of an Oxbridge Divinity library: 'A light to lighten the Genitals.'
On a sign advertising a gay community folk festival: 'There's nowt so folk as queer.'

Back in the eighties, just after Thora Hird had been made an OBE, she was opening our village fete and someone had overwritten the "OBE" on the welcome banner to "OAP".
It was bloody funny to this particular 11 y.o.

on the toilet wall next to the urinal:
Any fool can piss on the floor.
Be a hero and shit on the ceiling.
Made me laugh, but I was drunk at the time.

The scene... A toilet in Peckham
"Ireland for the Irish"
and underneath, in different handwriting "Peckham for the Peckish"
It rang my bell

It was written in French, and can be traslated like this:
"Even a child can piss on the floor,
be a hero and take a crap on the ceiling!"

On the pump it says "Beware of spillage" which was changed to "Beware of Pillage"
Which I think is equally if not more important.
Dirty Vikings.

For several years, there was a spray-painted diagram of a Stirling heat engine on a wall in Truro town centre.
Oh, those wacky Truronians... you never knew what thermodynamic principle they would lampoon next!

at my senior school they had these foldable seats with stickers on the top of the seat back saying they were made by Sandler Seating.
A few scratches of the sticker later and you had 'anal eating'. always bound to impress visitors.
