Let's print 100,000 cardboard cut outs of Carol Vorderman and shove them around town so that people will think that Hulls population are really intelligent

Fantastic!

yeah that was me - i'll probably get murdered now lol

We have had these in Brentwood (Essex) for a while now.

Council tax money well spent.

Will they come with a cardboard umbrella too?

[Dave Angel]

You'll not notice the difference

Cardboard police cut-outs have been used in shops for a while, for deterring shop-lifting.

But £100 quid each ?! Bloodyhell - nick the cut-out !!

They sound like a bit of a fire hazard to me...

Don't worry, they are currently working on cardboard fireman and extinguishers.

We have one of these in the local offy. All it does is make the passage way thinner so I risk getting pick pocketed by the roughians that buy their white lightening there.

I seem to remember one of our local forces trying something similar with cut out motorway patrol cars on bridges over the motorway.

The effect was spoiled somewhat, as I've never seen a Volvo hover 2 foot off the ground when parked!

Yak yak. Had to be done.

How much do these carboard officers earn ? :P

There was one at the local Boots outlet in the West Mids, someone had put makeup on it

[Oakey]

£100 EACH!!!!


fking hell, someone saw them coming. I have a new business investment for anyone who is interested. I'm going to make Cardboard Soldiers that can be sent to Afghanistan and charge the MOD £90 a pop for them.

When I saw "Carboard Police Officers" I assumed that the thread was about PCSOs!

I have never shoplifted but if I was thinking about it and I saw the big cut-out then it would make me think twice.

Yeah. Right.

[soad]

fking stupid idea, what sort of deterrent is that?!

What a bunch of wallies.
