So, I was wondering if you guys could help me.

At work, we have been assigned a country for the World Cup and we have to decorate our desks in items related to said country.

My team have been given Germany.

Do any of you have suggestions as to what we could do to decorate our desks? Relatively cheap suggestions would be ideal as it's coming out of my own pocket!

    If your Lidl has a bakery, there should be pretzels,I had one Saturday (about 30p), I "think" they sell German beer/wine, and other German packaged "stuff".

    Well, Holland is full of windmills, how about some of those windmills that you can get for the kids for sticking in sandcastles, and a big ball of blu-tack to stick them on the desk. Anything orange is good too. And tulips ;)

    For Germany, Steins & Leiderhosen (Think of Are You Being Served?):rotfl:
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j

    That's not a bad idea actually!

    The thought of stealing a BMW badge did cross my mind but I thought better of it haha
