Banksy • Flag SILVER, by MrStatic on Dec 18, 2006 16:57:25 GMT 1, I managed to get the 10th from last one. When i got there there was a small queue of about 8 people, i joined the back of it and after every couple of sales the guy handing out the posters would shout out how many were remaining. The last one was sold to a blonde lady (looking quite chuffed with her self) at bang on 1PM. There were only a few people behind her and they looked pretty narked! All the staff looked like they were glad it was over.
I walked in at 11:15am and there was no-one at the cash desk. Apart from the staff that is. Literally, there was no queue. When I was served, there was a few people behind me as we had to wait for the card transaction to go through, but there was probably 20 or so left at that point.
There was a camera crew setting up in the back, by the sofa -- someone was asking if they were from The Culture Show...
Got the print home, taken usual insurance photos, got it to the framers and collecting on Saturday. Merry Christmas me!

Banksy • Flag SILVER, by ®at on Dec 18, 2006 17:24:22 GMT 1, Was in the first 10 or so in line- long cold wait on the dodgy end of oxford st from silly O 'clock Worth it as got blair print gratis (first 25 in did), a merry xmas from laz, and one of the 'when i grow up' numbered from 100 from the bird that was handing them out. Everybody at the front was wondering what the hell they were, until we found out that it was nothing official from POW or Banksy. Still a nice little piece though. Went back later and won a print on the ring toss inside which is always nice

I'm under the impression that it is 'Applause' but that's just a guess?

The clue may be in the name of the game... ring "toss"

Banksy • Flag SILVER, by corblimeylimey on Dec 18, 2006 17:29:27 GMT 1, Just got back home to Devon from the Ghetto about a 350 mile round trip but it was worth it, I joined the queue at 9:00 just as the shutters were opening.
Huge queue but all was very civil and it took 1 hour to get to the front, my print number is 534, fantastic image, I'll take a photo of it later.

Banksy • Flag SILVER, by azlan on Dec 18, 2006 17:33:05 GMT 1, Yep... got there around 11:40am, a cue had already formed about 50 people deep. by the time I got in, must have been another 200 still in the cue. Not bad considering it was released at the Workshop on the downlow. A photographer from the Bristol Evening Post was in the cue (and she bought one). I went back later in the afternoon and their phone was litterally ringing off the hook.
Judging from the people in the cue, 50% were people who you'd normally find shopping at the Workshop. The rest were a mixed bag, and some damn right snobby people who - "travelled a great number of miles, don't you know!"

Was excellent to see Bristol get a generous allocation of the new print. Big up to Wonderful Workshop who handled it all really well and were dead friendly. Nice one chaps.
