Motorists aiding Research - David
As this is blatant advertising I hope this doesn?t get deleted.

We are a non profit making company specialising in executive toys for disgruntled motorists. All proceeds go to the Westminster and North Kensington Environmental Research Society.

Our latest lines are:-

Genuine second hand Gatso cameras in camouflage green ? each certified to have caught at least 10,000 motorists. As the name Gatso is copyright we market it as the ?Alwyn?

African Witch doctor dolls, complete with pins. These are nattily attired in British policemen?s uniform. With a certificate signed by one of the versions of Bogush.

A Pinocchio style doll with the familiar ?zoom nose? feature. Again to avoid copyright problems we call it the ?Chris Watson?.

By popular request these items will only be priced in Euros.

Any marketing suggestions gratefully received.

I don't think you will have much success on this site, David. The majority support the establishment with undisguised enthusiasm and any attempt to criticise the use of speed cameras or any suggestion that exceeding the speed limit should be allowed whilst lighting a pipe, will be jumped on like a (metric) ton of hot bricks.

Come to think of it, those subjects very rarely get a mention.

Regarding the CW doll, i dont think it will get you anywear as my dad owns the companie that holds the patent ,its the samecompany that i own aswell

Better add the obligatory :-) to this one.

Re: Motorists aiding Research - crazed idiot
can we have dolls of senior police officers, and models of court houses where the senior police doll talks and slags off the defendant and wishes for a long sentence before the judge has passed sentence... Make it a set and we can call it the Hart set ?

can we have play police rota's which show a high proportion of cops out doing people for minor speed infringement, while real dangerous driving goes unchecked, car theft is rife, violent criminals not even targeted

can we have doll "local governenment engineers" and "traffic consultants", complete with play road thinning kits, "stick mini roundabouts everwhere" kits, road bumps and dark hidden speed camera kits ?

can we have model train stations, where the cars in the car park are almost certain to get nicked ?

sounds like a bit of realism to the play room...
