Smuggling

[morph100]

If I take a large amount of inflatable flamingos in a box through security will they prevent me thinking I'm an illegal trader or will they understand I just want to hand them out to spread the flamingo love?

if they try and take them off you give them the bird !!

That is a fair question.  I also would like to take a moment to applaud the idea and for bringing more to the party than just a spectators point of view.

I don't think it'd be the weirdest thing people have tried to get in!!!

I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine.  Nice idea.

Flamingo smuggling... the bain of Glastonbury security's work for many years now!

[Miesh]

 I thought this was going to be about how to hide illegal substances.

I'm intrigued.....how many is "a large amount" and will you be inflating them all yourself or do you have a team?

Imagine the poor festival punters up at the Stone Circle high on whatever, and then seeing inflatable flamingos floating around

[Crazyfool01]

im just hoping there is no bird flu epidemic that wipes them out

[drchickenburger]

I am looking forward already to seeing this flamingo army.

Can I come in with you? All your flamingos may take any heat away from the 20 grams of coke I've got shoved up my arse

I may take some inflatable brown bears. At least then we can offer people the choice pink or brown, in the interest of fairness obviously 

[morph100]

I'm toying with a canister of helium for the Motorhome field, otherwise a small army will be recruited.

a large amount of flamingos would be 50-100 depends how many people I can get to chip in and how long shipping from the flamingo factory takes....

i may swap animals depending on price points when I hit 100 items.

All for sharing Flamingo love but can you be certain your 'customers' aren't going to leave their poor deflated corpses all over a small,piece of Somerset for someone else to pick up?

True! Any biodegradable animals I could buy in bulk? Open to ideas...

Real Flamingos would be biodegradable! Good luck!

[Spindles]

I am pretty sure that smuggling 100 real flamingos in would attract the attention of security.  Try making them inconspicuous by adorning them with hats?

Surely the flamingoes would just fly in on a signal......flag field would be a good place....once they land they can quickly disperse and blend in to elude security.

[Sack truck]

Real biodegradable you say? Anyone have any spare Paddington outfits, size large

[pinkmolly226]

Take them and if any jobsworth at the queue doesn't let you in proceed to blow every flamingo up and hand them out before you go in. Might take a while but would be well worth it! Maybe we should all take an inflatable flamingo or 2 in your honour? 

[Mollyanne&Mike]

Hoping you manage this, and hoping more that I am a lucky recipient of said inflatable flamingo.... and yes, it would travel home with me afterwards.

I'm just going to check in on this thread randomly until Glastonbury when I'm in the need of a good laugh
