Indeed, they appeared to be a flashmob comprised entirely of degraffitification operatives. I was somewhat intimidated in the Sleaford railway underpass by their politeness and brandishing of paint rollers. I got out of there pretty quickly I can tell you.

I hope the scruffy yobs are back tomorrow!
