    Just pinned a safety pin to my coat and one to my fleece. Doubt I will see anyone wearing one though, even if I did I'd probably be too shy to say anything :rotfl:

    I wear one when I remember but have yet to see someone else with one and yes, I'd say hello...

    I wish more of us would fill in our location (like what me and Tiff do, she says smugly ;)) then we'd at least know whether we were likely to bump into any MSErs.

    Could be a bit embarrassing wearing your badge on the one day you'd decided to treat yourself to an extravagance! :o
    Am not too far from you Bogof Babe, go to Hereford quite a bit! :D
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Just filled in a bit more of my profile.

    Just noticed that you're not too far away from me either BOGOFBabe. Are all the tightwads situated around this area of the country? :D

    With this many of us we should have a meet up at Chepstow Market :D
    Had a good morning out at Chepstow market the other week! :D
