Your ideas please… During Swanage carnival week the towns shop keepers place something they do not sell in their window, and jolly holiday makers try and figure out what it is, and can win prizes.

Last year we had a can of smoked oysters in our window. Would a stuffed beaver be going too far… any other ideas?

a bike with more than one gear?

something with 26″ wheels? 😉

…aaand an excuse to wheel out this old favourite again…

gears… ahhh too slow…

Is the idea to make the item as disguised as possible?

an english muffin?

Rampant Rabbit.

What prizes can you win for guessing correctly?

A packet of bird seed. We once got asked for this when I worked in a motorbike shop.

the idea is to make it difficult to find, a bit of a chalenge.

One shop taped a tiny pin to the centre of the glass window… a bit tough.

I just want to amuse, or frighten people: “daddy why is there a XXXX in the window”… “Turn away son, turn away!!!”

An oil filter remover for a car, looks like it could be a bike tool, but isn’t so it’ll make it more of a challenge. Either that or a single tangfastic sweet hidden discreetly in the display somewhere.

has anyone got one of these i can borrow…

Charlie, wtf did you put into google to find that?

I should stop now,

When is this? We’re on holiday down there soon so we’ll come and have a look.

My suggestion, should you not be able to find a shrunken head.

Rollerblades. My LBS used to get asked for those often.

mite/ant infestation?

attached to a helmet…

Set of skateboard bearings?

motorbike chain??

Hmmm, lube me and abuse me? Pot of vaseline?

One of these.

Rocks…..

Or startled rabbits

startled rabbits… how do you keep them startled?

You keep having to lull them into a false sense of security….

startled rabbits… how do you keep them startled?

Keep riding at them when they least expect it, preferably at night. 😀

Another of your stickers, everytime you change gears a kitten dies – a stuffed kitten?

Squirrels FTW!!!

You’ll grow an army of them if you aren’t careful though 🙂

A bottle of beer.

Place it with one of your headset bottle openers and no-one will suspect a thing
