    That would be quite a big banner Bubblesmoney. You'd be very tired at the end of the day's protesting. :)

    I have no idea what I'd go for....being as indecive as I am I'd probably start the day with quite a few messages printed on ballons, and let go of them as I got more tired, grumpy and less commited to the respective causes :o
    probably the ends of the banner can be tied to helium baloons to ease the burden on ones shoulders! :o

    OK, we'll join forces, eh? :)

    ETA: unintentional play on words. Read causes for forces to avoid embarassment due to anti-war nature of your banner.

    mine would be double sided, one side would read "please, won't somebody think of the children", the other would read "look, this all started in america".

    We are a bit short on effigies I think.

    How about a 6 foot gold pocket watch mockup, with Sir Fred's smiley face gracing the facia?

    What would you suggest on a banner ?

    "We all know that what we are going through now is a planned looting of the World Economy by the Powers of Darkness (the Rothschilds, the Illuminanti, the Masons, the Jews, the Papacy, Tony & Cherie Blair etc etc)"

    A classic error there though Purch.

    You have an implied order to these Powers of Darkness. Cherie would demand equal rights billing to the others.

    If you had a banner saying "I for one welcome our new Chinese Overlords" but written in Mandarin, do you think it would arouse suspicion?

    'SUBWAY SPECIAL ONLY £1.49' seems to be the preferred choice around here recently, I guess they're being ironic, but at least it's not starbucks.

    Instead of 'Golf Sale' you could have 'Gold Sale' and a picture of Mr Brown...?

    I'd get a sandwich board:

    Banker - will work in return for massive bonus.

    Or fokking fokk. It has a nice simplicity.

    There was a balloon race in the UK and one girl got a reply back from an inhabitant of a French village:

    'Please do not litter our village with your balloons'.
