Mr Raja, who said last week he wished to sell the Banksy piece for £4,000, has now changed his mind. “I was watching a programme on Channel 4,” he said. “They were selling art, and I suddenly realised I was selling it for far too little. “Now, I may sell it if you offered me £250,000.”

There might be money in this art thing after all.
