Legal advice reddit: Someone’s written on the wall of my local pub that I have a “lasagna fanny”. What next? I’ve found out that somebody has scrawled “[my surname] has a lasagna fanny” on the wall of a local pub by etching it into a wooden cubicle door. I suspect this is friendly banter but it could be malicious. I want it gone but I’m not sure if I have any legal rights — is this defamation? Do I have to target the person who wrote it or is the pub itself responsible because they’re publishing it? I asked the bartender to remove it but my friend went back a day later and it just had tape over it. Obviously it’s still underneath so will be visible again when it’s revealed. Also, is this considered discriminatory if it’s misogynistic? I’m generally just stuck. I want it off the wall for my reputation’s sake. I’m not really upset but I don’t want it there. I won’t get an actual lawyer over this because I think it’s banter but I’m obviously annoyed.
