Guinness, Balham

If the new building mentioned in the previous post hid one sign, it led to the reappearance of another one. Indeed since the billboard could no longer be seen by the passing public, the ad agency it belonged to removed it and the painted sign below resurfaced. I had taken a picture of it when the block was being built but it was largely hidden by scaffoldings. At least now we have a much better view! Shame the upper part is still under that brown coat of paint.

Actually there are at least two adverts for the Irish stout. The older one included the slogan: There's Nothing
Like A
Guinness
As for the more recent sign, which ends with the classic Guiness
Is Good For youit is a bit more problematic. Indeed in the part above, which is only partly visible, the second word is most certainly 'Guinness' but I can't make what the first word is. Four letters apparently, but I couldn't find a slogan that had a four-letter word followed by 'Guinness'. So maybe they don't go together and there are in fact three signs here...?

Always on the best of terms, Balham

Yesterday I went though the southeastern part of the metropolis, looking for some new signs along the way, and taking new pictures of some I already knew (but this time I got better shots as trees don't have leaves yet). On my way back I didn't pay much attention and jumped on the wrong bus. Not that it mattered as it took me to Balham and gave me the opportunity to take a better picture of a Guinness sign. Unfortunately I also noticed that the one that stood next to it is now barely visible. It hasn't been damaged but a new block of flats has been erected close to the wall it was painted on.


There are clearly several signs painted here and it is hard to tell which parts go together. Always on the best of terms!
