What does "mural" mean in British English? I feel like getting gifted a mural from my work would be disproportionately cool.
A painted wall. Presumably, someone paints it on his wall, as opposed to them delivering a pre-painted wall.
That's what I thought 🤔 don't get me wrong I'm sure this dudes been exploited for 40 years and that's shitty as fuck but a mural sounds like a rad gift
It's not a big supermarket chain (they have two stores in Jersey and Guernsey), so likely treat their workers better. As the bosses presumably know all their workers it does mean this is a bit more personal than just some HR drone punching a button because their details flashed up on a screen.
It's absolutely going to be a mural of a massive sausage roll
It will be like this:
How why where.. that's a painting I didn't know I needed
It is a riff on "Saturn devouring his son" I think.
It is absolutely that, I want to congratulate the artist. also great use of it in this thread.
I assume when they say tropical they mean a sandy beach with waves lapping on the sand, palm trees coming down to the beaches edge and reclining on the sand is a massive sausage roll.
I would not want a mural in my house. This would literally be the opposite of a gift for me.
I feel like the cost of a tropical themed mural could be better spent on like, a tropical vacation. But I don't know, I'm not a mural guy.
