Matt Black -- Anti Vandal Measures

The metal mural by the side of Dallow Lock on the Trent & Mersey canal has been the site of some intriguing battles over the years.
After it's installation it was proposed, by BW, that a device emitting loud high frequency audio be fitted in the vicinity to deter vandals / graffiti artists. This had to be removed in the end after the courts decided it breached the yobbo's (you can't say that ...Matt) human rights !

A new device may be the answer. It is a combination of the anti-collision radar fitted to cars and a scaled up version of the ink-jet assembly in your computer printer. In essence the radar locates the presence of an individual and the unit issues an audible warning. If this is ignored and the person moves closer they get sprayed across the chest with paint.

Now as you can imagine this initially was created much alarm amongst the do-gooders until some bright spark had the idea of actually writing I LUV MY MUM across the chest of the intruder. A touch of genius I think you'll agree!
Even the most liberal human rights activist could not object to those sentiments, and what yobbo would be seen with that on the front of their £50 designer T-shirt?

Hugh Baton said AV were aware of the system and would be watching trials of the unit elsewhere with interest.
