    Barkers aren't so common in Sydney. The few I do see aren't very into their job. But I gotta admit... some of those damn signs work.

    Wembley's Pool House ftw.

    Then please please explain London where you get ones for Subway, Mac Donalds, The Doc Martin shop in Camden. Also Chelmsford where people actually walk around in Sandwich boards for the day in the town centre.

    I guess their pay must be pretty bad you know. Its not something you want a full time permanent career as!

    On-road signs. Y'know? I was referring to people standing on the side of roads dancing around!

    Never seen anything like that. The closest thing is people dressed up on a street corner handing our flyers. No big signs or anything.

    I will just say that England sucks and California is insane!

    I should know; my firm prints the damn things.

    Yes, they're very popular, and I hate making them. =/

    I've seen people holding up signs for a few of the shops in my local town centre. They don't do anything energetic and I've never seen a mascot in costume.

    Indeed, usually advertising a Golf store.

    EDIT - I see Cz thinks the same.
