Tag on your gatepost, what a doozie, how ever did you manage? So glad to hear the council sorted it instead of spending that money on housing the homeless, or refuges for domestic violence victims, or upping benefits for the disabled, or feeding the hungry, or funding rape crisis centres, or education, or childcare services, or keeping hospitals and surgeries open. Fuck those wanker taggers and fuck everyone who needs those services, keeping London pretty is top priority.

While it's often maintained that the word doozy derives from the "Duesenberg" in the name of the famed Duesenberg Motor Company, this is impossible on chronological grounds. Doozy was first recorded (in the form dozy) in eastern Ohio in 1916, four years before the Duesenberg Motor Company began to manufacture passenger cars; the related adjective doozy, meaning "stylish" or "splendid," is attested considerably earlier, in 1903. So where did doozy come from? Etymologists believe that it's an altered form of the word daisy, which was used especially in the late 1800s as a slang term for someone or something considered the best.

I felt I knew the new tag, then I figured it was on the dunes of the Dutch North sea coast...

It's a rhetorical device designed to highlight how personal priorities are not always in line with strict morality.

I coped fine but the older lady who lived downstairs was quite shaken up by it actually (she had the ground floor flat so in a way it was 'her' gatepost). It's easy to dismiss these things when they don't bother you, or affect your perceptions of security. I completely agree with you that spending money on all of those things is a higher priority than removing graffiti, but that doesn't make graffiti right or removing it wrong.
My original point was that the clean up for Mobstr's 'witty' interaction with Tower Hamlets cost £600, which could have been spent on something more important like any of those things. They spend about £200k a year cleaning it up and if there wasn't any graffiti to clean up they'd have about £200k to spend on more important things.

Those must be rubbish for playing ping-pong on, much too long, thin, and how can you tell where the ball will jump on that surface?

Ah yes, just like it's easy to dismiss homelessness when it doesn't affect you. There is no reason they can't already spend that £200K on more important things than painting over graffiti.

I doubt that they would spend less on cleanup if there were less to clean up. It sounds logical. Unrealistically logical.

Maybe a clue is needed?
