From todays independent.

Invent 10 collective nouns of your own.

Imaginative minds have been inventing English collective nouns for groups of people since the 15th century but there are definetly some modern groups which have not yet been given the collective treatment. Get with the zeitgeist and pigeonhole them now in The Independent's Collective Noun Competition. (And win a bottle of bubbly whilse you're at it.)

What should be the collective noun for:-

Estate Agents
Actors
Football managers
MPs
TV Chefs
Lawyers
Standup comedians
Bankers
Fourbyfour drivers
Journalists

Send your suggestions to [EMAIL="nouns@independent.co.uk"]nouns@independent.co.uk[/EMAIL] by Wednesday 13 June. The best in each case will win a bottle of champagne.
