Page 3 in the Metro a nice little piece with 3 photos of what appear to be snails with rather nice paintjobs, courtesy of Slinkachu.
This is the Metro in Manchester. No idea if they are all the same or not.

Slinkachu in the Metro 2/6/08, by stillborncrisps on Jun 2, 2008 11:39:47 GMT 1, It's in London one too.
AFAIK all the regional Metro's are the same inside - only the front page may change for a region specific news item.

Graffiti snails roaming London
Sunday, June 1, 2008
Most people have to shell out to give their homes a makeover โ not so for these multi-coloured molluscs.
The flashy snails have had their drab shells given a paint job for nothing โ and they didn't even have to move a muscle.
A London artist, known only as Slinkachu, has used the molluscs' shells for a series of designs dubbed 'Inner City Snail โ a slow-moving street art project'.
One was given a graffiti-style urban revamp complete with a new name โ John โ spelt out across its shell. Another had the Tube logo painted on as well as acquiring a couple of unexpected passengers.
Slinkachu was keen to point out that non-toxic paints were used.
The 28-year-old said: 'No snails were harmed โ they just had their homes vandalised.'
And, with their long lifespan, don't be too surprised to see a brightly-coloured snail making its way down a street near you.
In a previous project, Little People, Slinkachu photographed tiny plastic figures apparently going about their lives in the capital, from Tube travel to sightseeing.
He left many of the figures dotted around the capital for their larger, human equivalents to discover.

Slinkachu in the Metro 2/6/08, by Happy Shopper on Jun 2, 2008 17:49:17 GMT 1, I like the one with the London Transport logo and 2 figures sitting on it's back. Very funny.
Slinkachu seems to be very under rated... or is it that people aren't so keen to have a photo on their wall ??
