Got my first pin 8 months ago and it's been a real learning experience and has kept me well occupied in that time. Of course I only wanted and needed 1 pin, that's enough for me, it's satisfied my little dream of owning my own pin.............. mind you, I've seen some fairly cheap broken pins on e-bay, perhaps I could get another one, just as a bit of a project, see if I could fix it up.......... oh dear, is this where it really starts?
