Life imitating art

This billboard in High Street publicising new student accommodation, picturing an apple-pie bed, pristine settee and uncluttered study area, announced - 'Finally a place you'll want to keep tidy -' playing on the perception that student flats are usually in a state of constant clutter and mess. Whoever dumped the black bin bags in front of the billboard probably missed the irony - or is that part of the advert! 

The extra picture of two workmen, who are probably still involved in finishing work on the complex, were crossing High Street opposite the billboard. I like the fact that the older fellow is carrying his hat while the boy has his helmet on. Behind him can be glimpsed the largest piece of wall art in the city featured in last Wednesday's blip.
