Where are you planning on putting them up?

Wallpaper paste works wonders......

Another vote for wallpaper paste. Thumbs Up

Makes it a bastard to do on the sly though. Sad

It was my first thought, do people get funny about it?

I guess you have to pick the places well Confused

You normally find the local council get the hump over flyposting, should be OK if it's a one off - we always used to do it in pairs - one to paste the posters up, one to keep a look out Thumbs Up

Round my way the general trick seems to be to stick them onto a rigid back (card board the weapon of choice) then cable tie them to lamp posts, railings etc.

You can go into shops and ask the manager if you can put a poster up in the shop window. So long as it is not offensive, most will be alright to have one up for a couple of a weeks.

There is infact a £1000 fine for each offence of fly posting. This fine can be leveled at anyone caught putting them up AND at anyone benefitting from them. So basicly you and the venue in question could face very large fines if the local council are hot on that sort of things (which they are here).

Just thought you should know Thumbs Up

In Exeter there were special pillars put up for fly posters. If you use paste you can also be done for criminal damage
