Damned liberal! These signs are there for a reason - namely theft by ghetto dwelling criminals. You're sort of lily livered lefty who probably says withdraw from Iraq now.

the entire property of the county of middlesex?

you'd hope they have a bit more property than just one poxy wall if they're going to call themselves a county...

Ah! I hadn't thought of it like that. I assumed it was a bullish statement to ward off anyone else who had their beady eyes on Middlesex's wall. But now I'm afraid it might be a plaintive cry for help: 'This is all we've got!' Let's start a campaign - Help Buy Middlesex Some More Property!

I walk by this wall every day and its baffled me for some time. Unbelievably enough, much of Shoreditch used to be in Middlesex (http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/place_page.jsp?p_id=959
) and I guess as their boundaries retreated, they felt the need to make a stand!

oh, you mean that Middlesex IS really a county ? I had somehow misunderstood that all : I thought that was a joke about a wall exclusively intended to middle aged people to have sex close to it....
