Historical Posters

Much to my surprise today, while walking down one of the many tunnels that make up the Oxford Circus tube, I found myself staring at an advert telling me to buy 'Some Might Say' by Oasis when it comes out on Monday, April 24. I was slightly taken aback by this, seeing as it's my brothers birthday on that day and even if I wasn't busy then, I'd still only be 11 years old and I'd be living in Beirut. And then I realised, much to my delight, that in stripping off all the tiles and the poster boards as part of the ongoing Oxford Circus tube renovations they've uncovered a whole load of plastered over posters, one going back to at least 1989.

They're awesome posters and in an awesome location. They'll also probably be gone in a few days, so if you get the chance go into Oxford Circus tube and they're after the first escalator (you've got to be going into Oxford Circus to see them, they exit at that station is completely separate).

One person felt they had something to say.

Caveats and the such

A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.
