1. were the cereal box patches in the U.K. actually fake and
2. what would happen with all the surplus in the U.K.?
1. The term was used in the UK by collectors to describe any fake or reproduction badge, regardless of where it came from. As far as I know the only items that we had in cereal packets were the free gift toys.
2. Most military surplus items were destroyed, although there were and are occasions when it is released to the public through the contracted dealers and the MoD sales.
