OK you're gonna have to take this story on faith, I revisited my old stamping ground yesterday as I used to live in Milton Keynes for many years, since the early 60s in fact, so several years before the new city even existed. I've tramped it's streets a lot and one of them in particular for over 20 years. I was a teenager when graffiti appeared, which for some reason managed to remain unwashed or pressure hosed off. It read DAMNED LOVE SONG no 26, which was a reference to the punk band's UK chart debut in 1979. It always tickled me that it stayed there for so long but of course in these times we live in today it has now been duly removed from history and a bare wall remains. But for so long the good folk of MK were reminded of a small part of punk history which has now sadly gone, mind you I'm tempted to grab a can and spray it back!
