Laughing all the way to the Banksy...link added !

Just read this and amazed - if not a little sceptical - about the apparent calmness shown by the family.
The price, sort of, of the property they are selling potentially rises £5 million overnight - literally - and they are honouring the deal albeit with protective strings attached.

I drew a giant gold griffin on the side of our house, but the art dealers said it was the wrong kind of Banksy

Shows society for what it is again. By people abusing them for potentially changing their mind because a £5m piece of art has turned up.

I’m sure if a £50k leak appeared the buyers would pull out. Never mind £5m

The obvious thing to do would be to come to an agreement that the house is sold to whoever is daft enough to pay £5m and split the proceeds down the middle between vendor and original buyer.

"Art" lovers scrapping over the mural's merits or, more likely, he's slipped in some dog crap.

How is it this Banksy geezer can get away with putting graffiti on the side of someone's house?

Wealth is irrelevant...he should be put before the courts for criminal damage. Btw. Does he own a dog?

But this art, tim, anything goes. He can come and do five million quid's worth of "criminal damage" to Eduardo Mansion anytime he likes - with or without any dog he may or may not have. :lol:

I think my idea of outside art and a crooked stick on a crooked street is slightly different to Banksy's:

'There are Folk who Think They've Seen God on Toast' (Burnley backyard art from the Expanded Field Trip series 1992):

... It's a bucket in one corner and two pieces of burnt toast and an empty bottle of milk in the other.

That’s the kind of thing I’d say if I was Banksy.

This dick head ‘Banksy’ needs to stop going around drawing on other people’s property.

He’s a nuisance.

That's because you're a slimeball, Riley.
