American theme
Hi
sorry for straying onto this part of the forum (I normally stick to the Australian discussion boards) but I need a little help.
My work is having an American theme at the moment and I have been tasked with decorating 4 desks in an American theme. The rest of the office has a head start on me so the following themes are gone:
Old west salloon
hollywood / the oscars
harley davidson
cowboys and indians
I would like to create something really imaginative, and I have a budget of £20 and a timescale of half a day to get this done
any ideas guys?
Mel

Although "dead presidents" is a nickname for paper currency, you might want to use Mt. Rushmore. [BTW, the nickname is inappropriate becuase the most desirable "dead president" -- Benjamin Franklin -- never served as President of the United States.
Statute of Liberty is always a good one.
The US flag or flaglike bunting.

When I first came here I was asked if I wanted chips or fries with my first ever cheesesteak.... I said "but they're both the same, aren't they?" I think that was my introduction to American English
