Maybe Foot.ie needs a 'Cut Out' of John83 at the beginning of each post...

This cardboard cut-out idea has been used in the UK in the past as well.
Apparantly it does work because when drivers see it at first they slow down, but only realise when they get closer that its not real, but it has already had the desired effect.
It needs to be moved around regularly cos obviously if its always in the same place it will fool nobody. The real deal should be parked there every so often too just to keep us on our toes.
