Banksy hails from........, by yatesman on Jun 12, 2007 13:59:48 GMT 1, ........Yate, apparantly, which is pretty cool cuz that's where I'm from. Can anyone confirm this useless piece of info?
Not that it has any effect on my anonymous little existence, except I guess it can be a little bit inspiring to share those sorts of connections.
The worlds most enigmatic, sought-after and respected contemporary artist has probably pissed in the same urinals as me, amazing.
Consider that J K Rolling, Harry Potter's mum, the worlds most widely read author, after Jesus,was also born in Yate, in the same little memorial hospital as me then that's pretty amazing too, must be something in the water.
Do you think I should start a campaign for the local council to build a monument to J K, which could then be customized by Banksy? Or is there some other way to salute these two giants of modern culture?

Banksy hails from........, by yatesman on Jun 12, 2007 14:15:24 GMT 1, The council are busy picking trolleys out the local river and............that's it. Yate is a small town N.E. of Bristol where nothing much happens so I'm sure Banksy got on the X38 to Bris. the minute he saved up enough pocket money and never came back, sensible fella!

Banksy hails from........, by johnmac62 on Jun 12, 2007 14:22:14 GMT 1, It was from one of his early interviews where the journalist said he was from Yate, I've heard no different! A lot of the early pieces (which now get painted over!) with inkey etc all seem to be around Easton so there could be a link there?

Banksy hails from........, by yatesman on Jun 12, 2007 14:37:40 GMT 1, YORK??? Bah Gum..... I shouldn't think. 
I get a noseblood when I go as far up north as Gloucester!
So no ideas for a combined monument.
How about Banksy to make a statue of JK Showing the finger in one hand, a wad of cash in the other whilst flashing a bit of thigh, a sort of morph of some his other work( I think), (I'm quite new to Banksy's stuff, tho' a massive fan). Or the cash stuffed into her knickers, d'you get the drift?
I'm sure all you Banksy officionados have imagined your own take on his art!

Banksy hails from........, by Adamski on Jun 12, 2007 15:44:40 GMT 1, Banksy is rumoured to be from Yate. At least as far as I'm aware. Although he obviously knows the rest of Bris pretty well too judging by the diversity of locations he's hit.

JK Rolling trumps Marlowe, Banksy trumps Bloom but Canterbury sneak it by sheer weight of numbers.
Who'd ya play for Lardy? I'm a regular at Lodge Rd. I've probably given you some serious verbal from the touchline in the past : )
