Was lucky enough to see this. The Mural was enormous, took up the whole, lengthy platform. I took so many photos, but this is pre-smartphone so where are they? Stuck in a box somewhere...

I'm in Tesco Meal Deal area.
Ratty looking bloke puts Red Bull in his basket. His GF grabs a bottle of plain water. Bloke is horrified and chastises her "The PH in that is unbalanced! That's PH9! That's TERRIBLE for you" and makes her exchange it for something else.
