For drivers on the M25, they know they're between junction 16 and 17 in Buckinghamshire when they spot the seemingly random message "GIVE PEAS A CHANCE" on a motorway bridge.Image caption It was an odd slogan The person who did it chose a historic bridge. Built between 1902 and 1906, it is the only Edwardian brick bridge on the M25. A historic building report done by Oxford Archaeology says the slogan was painted in two stages. Firstly "PEAS" appeared, then "GIVE" and "A CHANCE" were added later.

It says "PEAS" is the tag of a London graffiti artist and his tag can been seen in many other locations, particularly on bridges. The additional text changing the graffiti to read "GIVE PEAS A CHANCE" is thought to refer to his continual arrests.
The north facing side of the bridge also has some graffiti, saying just "PEAS06".

"The common misinterpretation of the inscription makes the bridge an interesting landmark to users of the M25," says the report.

London graffiti artists are really great when it comes to imagination. This one was just a simple message, but we can see the it was creatively done! What we don't know about it is the fact that it has its rich history. Sometimes, simplicity is better than having too much designs! Actually, London graffiti artist are known for simplicity. But they are always making sure that their designs are catchy; something that can steal your attention from one thing to another!
