KamaSupra Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Whilst I've driven down the M25 motorway I always see a bridge near the M40 turn off with "Gve peas a chance" painted across it. Has anyone else seen it and does anyone know what it means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It used to only say PEAS, that was it, nothing more. Then somebody popped the 'give x a chance' bit on it and now it is legend. Nobody knows why it says PEAS though. It has been there ever since I can remember, and I'm old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13524208, last item in the list. Rumour has it that "Peas" is a London-based graffitti artist. I agree that adding the other words presumably to spoof the phrase/song title "Give Peace a Chance" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_Peace_a_Chance) was genius. Someone on the internet (so it's got a 23.1% chance of being true) reckons the other words were added when "Peas" was up before Bow magistrates for graffitti-ing a train. This twist, if true, would make the additional words even sweeter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benzsupra Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 There was another one on the M40 / M25 exit that said 'Why do i do this everyday' but it been gone a while now... It always amused me on the way to work cause that's exactly what i was thinking. Maybe that was it's purpose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
