Remember the election poster wall from which all the posters were torn down by the comune last week? Well, overnight, as you see, a few mysteriously reappeared. Simone and I just passed it on our evening walk [I didn't have my camera with me] and they have gone again! My question is, why do the candidates and / or their supporters bother, when they know this is going to happen?! [The saga keeps me smiling, though.]
Sounds like a cat and mouse game between canidate supporters. Sort of a sport.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to hang around and wait patiently until the culprit turns up - and then take a photo of them in action, with an excited Simi by your side.
ReplyDeleteIt's the thrill of the chase, the nerve of the thing, Welshcakes. Get out there and join them - be an urban soldier and Simi can be your back up support.
ReplyDeleteSteve, Ellee, yes, it's a sort of "game". But the "culprits" are the town authorities because there is a law which states that you can only put these notices up in designated places and this is not one of them. The posters even get covered by a notice from the townhall citing the law! Then that, in turn, gets covered by more posters and so it goes on...great fun.
ReplyDeleteJames, Simi says she quite fancies being an urban soldier so we are about to don helmets and get out there!
I love the idea of little dogs carrying cameras darting around all around the seedier spots here - much more interesting than cc cameras; we had a similar thing in Spain during the local elections - the posters would get bigger and bigger and would appear on taller and taller buildings; the aactual election was a bit of an anti-climax. Then the newly elected mayor was hauled off to prison - corruption of course, which explained the 25 tower blocks which had appeared overnight) and the whole election process would start again.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that always amazes me, WCLC, is that they put up multiple copies of the same poster. Whole rows of them sometimes.
ReplyDeleteOf course here we do lawn signs. For our politicians at election time, for our church bazaars. "Cultural differences" I guess.

Its the fun of the challenge and the chase, Welsh.
ReplyDeleteHi, janejill. Not only corruption in Italy, then! Hi, jmb. Yes, they put up loads of the very same posters in the same place! People put up lawn signs in the UK, too, but more often, window posters. That must be it, Lee!
ReplyDeleteOur city allows lawn signs, as long as they don't impede the public right of way, or constitute a traffic hazard.
ReplyDeletePlastering posters on a wall, though...
It's a kind of graffiti. And I bet the glue makes a mess against the wall, too.
Hi, Bonnie. Yes, the glue is very messy!
