Almost all of the graffiti was on the shutters of shops – not the stone or brickwork. It appears as though the ‘taggers” (also see this on Birmingham tagging and youtube) have decided not to spray the buildings themselves. If this is a correct observation (and please tell me if it’s way off the mark) what’s going on here? [...] [...] I was in Barcelona recently and found myself puzzling over something.

Reminds me a bit of an online exchange I had with some skateboarders when I was a councillor (although I was a bit less confrontational). They didn't much like the design of the new skate-park and I tried to understand why. As you say I doubt I would have had the same conversation in real time, but the fact that a) they linked to my blog from their forum, and b) I bothered to register and respond there, led to an interesting exchange of views and improved my knowledge of what might make a good skate park. Of course, the electorate made that knowledge redundant by turfing me out on my ear a couple of months later, but you can't have everything can you? Interesting stuff.
