We are all on the spectrum. Some of us further than others.

Wife tell’s me this regularly Chris! Usually whilst I sit in silence looking at my badges like Gollum with the precious.

And I am the only sane one in the world. A thought that came to me after shaving the palms of my hands and soles of my feet this morning.

Curses!!! . . . The little so-and-so gave the game away. I'd just invested in a shed-load of 'white brass type stuff' to splash on my fakes before offering them for sale to the learned elders of the 'British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum' . . . . Oh well, back to the drawing board . . . Green brass type stuff, perhaps?

Many years ago, the cataloguing of a national museum was given over to some people with absolutely ZERO knowledge but a lot of time...

An early percussion pistol was catalogued as:

"Silver shooting thingy"

No idea what they did with the badges/ medals but we can guess....

Not to draw this out, but having looked at a few other videos I fully agree with Luke H's opinion.

I'd suggest that no one else comment on the videos and the tread be locked and deleted.

The phrase shooting fish in a barrel comes to mind.

You’ve been free to form your opinion on this, yet you feel you have the right to restrict others from doing so. When others’ opinions don’t correspond with our own, we should crush them, should we?

Unless other comments are going to be constructive I don't see the point in criticizing someone who potentially has a learning difficulty. I think best to air on the side of caution. My wording in my previous post could have been a bit more articulate, I am not restricting anyone from forming an opinion. I could be completely wrong, but there is the possibility this chap has a learning difficulty, and further more it would be terrible if he or relations/friends were to come across this tread. Unless comments are going to be positive I don't see how further criticism is of any benefit - this is a badge forum where people are meant to learn after all.

That's exactly what has been going on in this entire tread!
