Get a Banksy

My wife hates it when I work from home

What are those pesky Rats up to now?

I was just settling down to watch some telly last night (Wednesday 16th April 2020), MasterChef was in the planner and I get an Instagram alert from Banksy.

Now that is exciting in itself, the dog went flying as I opened it up in excitement and low and behold he’s done it again. A new Banksy and bloody hell it’s about Coronavirus and it’s great.

I started crawling all over the image expanding it and looking at what was before me. As usual it made me smile and at the same time try to take in and decipher the messaging

(Experienced Banksy fans will know what I mean by that) these thoughts flash through your mind all at the same time when there is a new Banksy to behold.

So, what do we have…

A rat hanging off the light pull.

A rat on the mirror making it topple to one side

A rat squirting a hand soap dispenser

A rat swinging off the hand towel rail whilst squeezing a toothpaste tube (clever rat)

2 Acrobat rats holding up said mirror that rat 2 is making unstable

An Andrex rat going for it on a loo roll and unravelling it

A rat plainly taking a pee all in the wrong place on the bog seat, his pee being a strange horrible colour

In the mirror we see another rat who is using a lipstick to count something on the wall

Finally, an interesting rat hole that appears to have something strange in it

So, what have we discovered?

Banksy has a wife!

He is in Lockdown with a pretty basic bathroom!

He may have the virus; did you spot the paracetamol?

Is the Virus creeping out of the rat hole?

Most rats are social distancing but not all!

But here is my question for you Banksy fans, please explain what the rat in the mirror is counting it’s doing my head in!
