It will probably end up being cheaper to fly to London to get a pin than what collectors will be milked out of on eBay.
Got a tip for us?

don't you love the laugh/fun license revokers passing judgement on things attendees probably would like.
don't know if "not tacky at all" is sarcasm or respect, though anybody who prefaces their work with "cool" deserves a higher rank on the tacky scale.
for me, i think the idea of the pin is 'cool' although that's a term my older bro used at uni, a bit sharked by now.
Believe me if they're free they wont last long lol.
Hope they don't mix up the flags like in the football yesterday. Heaven forbid we should start World War 3 lol.
Please let them be available outside of London. We have parts of the Olympics to.
Go Team GB.
Pampers are selling Special Edition nappies with the Union flag on them, "to support Team GB in the Olympics".Why not British Flag on underwear?It would sell like hot bread rolls! Sigh...
I'm not sure how what my daughter does in her nappies constitutes support for the team, but then I'm not in marketing.
Which is really weird since the rest of the world does it and no one comments about it, it's only us Brits that get viewed in a negative light when we do it.
I moved to Holland many years ago, and they'll take any excuse to break out the flags.
Nowt wrong with a bit of national pride.
I don't think some realise it's different to how it was 30 years ago. We break out the Union Flag now for the right reasons, basically to celebrate or to party.
But you know, if people want to see it as it was that's their issue to work through, not ours.
As an Irish person, I have no problem with it. As someone else said, they don't have Union Jack's everywhere all the time. It's just on special days. We do the same on Saint Patrick's Day and other special occasions.
My eldest daughter just walked into our local Apple store (We are in a town about an hour from London) and got me one She said they are just laying on the tables in boxes, so it is help yourself
So, sent her back for a few more
They told her there are 4 to collect, on 4 different days

Town an hour away isn't Reading is it? Cause I'm only a ten minute walk to the aStore, so may look later!
I wonder if some customers will sell them for prices making their "purchase" free. There will be some Applenatics out there paying it, right?
All of you are failing to see my distinction between the actual flying of the full flag (which is fine) and the crass commercialisation of a national symbol. It's not national pride if it's jingoism. If anything I say this out of respect and compassion for your national symbol rather than anything politically critical.
Cringe-o-rama!

That's only because they are too tight to pay for underwear...

Nope all for free. I tried to get a full set out of the assistant but they said they were doing it over 4 days and then would start again.
We call that "Paddywhackery" and rightly so. I'm glad it only occurs on St. Patrick's Day, and it's frequently American tourists who are the worst. It also occurs in many other parts of the world on Patrick's Day, interestingly enough.
