And now a particularly trivial question about panniers

[Bigtallfatbloke]

...how do i stick a 'GB' car sticker onto my canvass bags?? This is important to me as i wouldnt want to be mistook for a foreigner when i am abroad

Sticking wont last five minutes, sewing would split the plastic, super glue would runin the pannier...so whats a chap to do?

Attatch a flag pole to your seat post and an enormous flag flying from that ... that way they will definately know your nationality

Or a Union Jack spinnacker on the bars so you can overtake Johnny Foreigner without even pedalling.

I like this plan. Would it still work if I cut a hole in it so i can see where I am going?

Couple of dabs from the Hot Melt Glue Gun. If you change your mind you could peel it off

Get your Nan to embroider you a (GB) patch.

We have added GB plates on our bikes. We added them after being hooted at in Bergen, Norway. As the Norwegian guy who helped us at the time said there is nothing on your bikes to say you are British and with Ortlieb panniers guess where they think you come from! There are are still a lot of Norwegians with long memories, if you get what we mean

How I got around it was to buy a small stick on GB sticker from Halfords and glued it to a bit of aluminum plate which I then cut around leaving a small tab at the bottom. I drilled a 3mm hole in this tab and pop riveted it to the mudguard and then bent it upright.

Now that's a cool idea...I will see if I can rig up something similar..Ta.

The easiest way to enable 'foreigners' to understand your essential englishness will be to attach one label to each side of your head using six inch nails.

I wouldn't advise it, some people might think you are English.

No-one ever said it had to be practical advice!
