We all love this notice, a survival of a bygone ago, attached to the Archbishop's House at the corner of Ambrosden Avenue. Its air of wounded indignation suggests a weariness with, and a haughty disdain of, the exuberance of youth.
The odd thing is, though perhaps it is the lighting, that it seems to emphasise 'child', as though hinting to the less young that they should have a go.
