lilyalli Prolific Registered: Fri Apr 20 2007 Posts: 1038 Loc: Norfolk UK	This is my Girl Guide Brownie Pixie badge/brooch. It is about 50 years old and has stayed in the bottom of my jewellery box all this time. Somewhere I have the sleeve (cut off!) from my uniform with an array of badges, including 'sixer' - the one in charge of pixies! I will see if I can find it.... _________________________ "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." Lewis Carroll

The flags spell "Australian National Maritime Museum" (see here if you want to decipher it for yourself), from top to bottom from left to right. _________________________ The cost of living has not affected its popularity - Loesje

dg_dave Champion Poster Registered: Sun Oct 05 2003 Posts: 24575 Loc: near Stafford, Virginia USA	These are the flags (from left to right) of the city of Dallas, state of Texas, and city of University Park. I was southbound on US 75's service road at Lovers Ln. The two city flags are positioned the way they are because the east side of US 75 is in the city of Dallas, and the west side in University Park. _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.

picqero Multiloquent Registered: Tue Dec 28 2004 Posts: 2813 Loc: Hertfordshire<br>England UK	Quote: Picqero, would you happen to know why they're in Leicester Square? Is there something Swiss nearby? Just curious. As Sue says, there is a well known building called the Swiss Centre in Leicester Square. Until recently this was the HQ of the Swiss National tourist Office, and also of the national airline Swissair. Swiss themed restaurants, and even an elaborate Swiss Glockenspiel are features of Leicester Square There's more info on the coats of arms here - though I'm not sure why they show 29 coats of arms

lady1 Champion Poster Registered: Wed Jun 07 2006 Posts: 20697 Loc: Gauteng South Africa	These are my SCUBA diving badges. The NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors) badge is the association with which I qualified. The large round one is my Skin Diving Instructor badge and the smaller ones are pins. One is to commemorate NAUI's 35 years of service and one is the National Sea Rescue helicopter. _________________________ "If Life Were Easy Where Would All The Adventure Be?"
