Which words are spelt wrong? resilience is spelt resiliance on wall It's a minor misspelling but if there's multiple misspellings it's not good - I've only seen the one photo up close He without sin cast the first stone and all that, but yes that's unfortunate. What's wrong with the ✌️?

I think that's brilliant and will be absolutely boss when finished. Good on them.

Pencils and pens - plural - please. Does Ken really say 'pencils and pens' as opposed to 'pens and pencils' which surely would be the choice of most? If so my admiration for him rises even more. I wonder if in non-tannoy situations he also refers to 'vinegar and salt', a touch of 'tickle and slap', and (as an ex-Policeman) the importance of 'Order and Law'. We'll never find out, of course. www.bbc.com/culture/article/20160908-the-language-rules-we-know-but-dont-know-we-know

Spelling...
Singer in the Chimps had a tattoo on his arm which read "indestructible".
We decided, on one occasion when drinking pretty heavily, prior to a gig over in Mexborough, to wind him up by telling him his tattoo was misspelt and it should be "indestructable". "When do you ever see a word with ible at the end?" we were arguing and so forth.
So, he goes online. Says "look there....indestructIble". So, without even a moments pause, our bassist says "mate, that's the American spelling".
So, Jon (singer) got really sensitive about it...so much so that during our half hour spot (it was a punk festival at a BRILLIANT real-ale pub/venue called The Imperial - we were headlining) he stopped the gig so he could conduct this weird poll of the audience - "everyone, please solve this for me....how do we spell indestructible...." His sleave up showing the front row his tatt and everything.
And of course the audience says "it's spelt with an A"
Brilliant...just brilliant memories...

Proper punk that, halting the gig to get to the bottom of a spelling quandary! 😂

Think the poet will just be sat there looking pensive whilst the artist and Jack Stretton do the hard work. That's what you pay poets for. Whilst wearing a beret. You’re thinking of philosophers

It's great that someone has had the initiative to use that wall.
My only gripe is so far they've used every shade of blue except our own.
