Is this acceptable graffiti

Is this an acceptable face of graffitti?

This morning the 21st I went into the village centre as is my want, and I was shocked by the number of FLY POSTERS which had appeared, apparently over night. The village centre had suddenly become bedecked with 9 Fly Posters within 100 yards of each other - pinned to trees, telegraph poles and walls on both sides of Main Street and the Coop car park. Now if this was not the work responsible adults, but that of our un-thoughtful, un-caring, irresponsible teenagers displaying examples of their Street Art ( termed and accepted as graffiti) most villagers would be up in arms. But not so with their fellow adults for this is apparantly acceptable --
SHAME or is this really the acceptable face of graffitti ?

Why is it that these examples of posters publicising “one-off” events, sometimes even ongoing events, are very rarely ever taken down after the event publicised ?- Because those who put them up in the first instance cannot be bothered, or have little consideration for the appearance of our village environment. they are more concerned about their publicity - that’s why
Well now we can offer a solution to all this unregulated VISUAL POLLUTION addicts . What’s more the solution will be more effective for them as publicists , and much more convenient informative, more easily read and observed at leisure, by the individuals to whom the messages are intended and targeted .. .. and what is more it is FREE.

G MAIL

10 reasons why we use Gmail at www.burtonjoyceonline.co.uk

Gmail makes email easy and efficient. And maybe even fun.

1. You don't like spam. Neither do we.
Don't waste time with junk mail and unwanted messages. Gmail blocks spam before it gets to your inbox. If an unwanted message ever finds its way through, you can fight back by reporting it and help make our spam filters even better. Learn more
Watch a video to see how to combat spam.

2. Search your mail instantly
Use Google search within Gmail to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received. You don't have to spend time sorting your email, just search for a message when you need it and it will be found for you.

3. Organize replies into conversations
With Gmail, each message you send is grouped with all the responses you receive. This conversation view continues to grow as new replies arrive, so you can always see your messages in context.

4. Built-in chat: text, voice, or video
With just one click, you can chat in Gmail with the people you already email or reply to emails by chat. You can even talk face to face with Gmail voice and video chat. All you need is a webcam and a small download that takes seconds to install.

5. Labels, filters, and stars...oh my!
Gmail uses labels to help you organize with more flexibility. A conversation can have several labels, so you're not forced to choose one particular folder for messages. You can also create filters to automatically manage incoming mail. Starring messages is another way you can organize your inbox. Plus, it looks pretty.

6. Get your mail on the go
The days of needing your computer to get to your inbox are long gone. You can now use Gmail on your mobile device to access your email from anywhere.

7. Lots of space (and counting)
There is and increased amount of free storage offerred by Gmail, and if you want even more, you can always purchase additional space. With all that space, you can archive instead of deleting messages, so they won't clutter your inbox but will remain searchable in case you ever need them again.

8. There are ads, but only the good kind
With Gmail, you'll never see pop-ups or untargeted banner ads. Instead we display text ads and related links you might find useful and interesting. Learn more about how seriously it protects your privacy.

9. Save time
Take advantage of Quick Contacts and Keyboard Shortcuts in Gmail to get through your email even faster. And don't forget that you can quickly find messages using Gmail's search feature powered by Google search technology.

10. All this is free? Yep. so see it in action site at www.burtonjoyceonline.co.uk
