I read that literally as I stepped onto the platform of Coventry station. Ruined my day!

I recently watched an excellent Dan Cruickshank documentary about the rebuilding of Warsaw (he'd lived there as a small boy in the early 1950s). Many of the original plans had been hidden in a local monastery during the war and, where plans didn't exist, old paintings and photographs were used as the basis for reconstruction. The key point was that a great deal of the work in the city's ancient centre was undertaken by citizens who volunteered their time, skills and labour to the project with whole families spending their weekends and holidays contributing.
So someone 'does get sent to Coventry' and here is me thinking it was just a phrase.
Hamburg is a nice city ,though the Reeperbahn is dodgy, was when I was there about 30 years ago...Maybe its been cleaned up since.
Warsaw got some of each. Anazing how they have transformed it in such a short time after the collapse of communism.
I went there in 1963. Quite a shock for a 13 year old who had only known our country, which at that time was drab and grey and everywhere was shut by about 10.30pm. Lennon said that he thought Liverpool was a rough, tough city full of hard men and dodgy people but he had a rude awakening when they got to Hamburg.

Love that. Get it protected.
Me too. Looks like who ever it's by has got the whole dead bod thing. It's also almost exactly the same as the Banksy that's in Bristol.
Almost as if the same stencil had been used...
I don’t care ifs it not original - I love it
(I actually think it’s genuine, I hope it’s genuine!)

I don't know why, as a grumpy old man, I'm really excited by all of this.
I think it's a clever copy by a talented fan.
Good though.
I like it but don't think it's real. Banky's spacial awareness is excellent and i don't think he would have sprayed it in the middle of the wall, he'd have sprayed it with the girl and bird at floor level, I'd love to be proved wrong though
But then those cool places won't be cool anymore.
