ON A rare walk in a Sheffield park in a reasonably good area, I noticed every flat surface had graffiti on it: waste bins, signs, benches etc. I am not angry. I think it is so sad that youths have such little intelligence. They are probably showing off to equally 'thick' mates, for praise. Instead of praise, what if their mates just turned their backs and walked off? It would stop.

Take a marker and write over the graffiti with the words "whoever wrote this must be very stupid"

It wont get rid of it but you would be surprised how quickly it will be crossed out by the ones who did it. It can also deter further graffiti writing elsewhere.

Those idiots always advertise their "tag" name and don't like you messing with it!

Spray cans and marker pen sales must be massive here given the amount of damage inflicted on Sheffield. I've just spent 9 months working in Coventry where young people have civic pride - and where there's virtually no graffiti!
