Status: offline 		anyone have any suggestions as to where i can get old free corex from?

i dont want to go into estate agents as i doubt they keep the 'for sale' signs there, sooo, anyone know where?

oh and, is it against the law to steal 'for sal' signs from peoples homes? lol, just kidding

Status: offline 		Umm, errr, might be the wrong suggestion . . . but you could B.U.Y some correx. A local signmaker down here in Braintree, Essex sells 8 X 4 ft sheets for £8. They had a load of yellow, almost Piper Cub yellow in stock!

We have more Estate agents than houses for sale and almost equivalent number of signmakers. However, most seem to buy in their blanks in 3 X 4ft.

Status: offline 		i would buy some correx, heck it would be much easier and theres a shop that sell the 8x 4 foot sheet near me but i think a flying 'for sale' sign would be sssssssooooooo much more amusing to see fly, dont you?

Status: offline 		YES, your right! I did ask a few signmakers about printed "For Sale" correx pannels but they would not sell any. Asked what happens to "Mistakes, poorly printed or cancelled orders" got told "We don't have any problems like that"!

As soon as I'm allowed to drive again, I'll hitch up the trailer and go get some yellow 8 X 4 sheets!
