[challenge entry] Compo in real life (1991)
OK. Not 'shopped.

This was from back when I was a student at Bristol Poly (now UWE).

Me and a couple of mates were out late drunk on the Coldharbour Lane campus one Saturday night, and moving a picnic table past the bank (as you do). We stopped for a rest and looked up, then just got up and started yanking letters off for shits 'n' giggles.

Then decided to put some back. :)

What japes!! :D
