Banksy in St Leonards-on-Sea

I think I must've been the last to know that Banksy had visited St Leonards!  I was visiting my mum in Bexhill when I saw the pic on the front cover of the Hastings Observer.

The pic had been there for about a week when we visited it.  The usual arguments of street art v graffiti had played out in the paper and the image had already been vandalised, cleaned up, covered with perspex and that partially broken.

We met a couple who had come down from Ashford for the day specially to see it!  and was very interesting eavesdropping on conversations on the meaning of the image!
