    I've got a little gold one too, but only because they arrived with the Vertbaudet stuff I ordered (using a e-code from MSE) :D

    So is it just Queenie and I wearing our MSE safety pins then?

    Well the couple I saw in Asda last week that I'm convinced were Old Style MSE'ers weren't wearing them.....and I did look! :D

    They'd bought lots of Smart Price things and a huge sack of potatoes, but the MSE clincher was the MASSIVE stack of coupons she handed over to the cashier! :rotfl:

    There is only one problem in assuming that anyone with a safety pin on their jacket is MSE - with my luck - the charity emblem that had been attached to their pin would have dropped off!
