CM,
It wasn't so much a scoff than a bit of banter chap.
I don't have problems with badges. We've all got a load of various designs in our ego boxes I'm sure.
And yes, I do have an "AV8" badge. I don't have one for 10 hovers followed by a picture and a statement saying this is the first 10 hover badge someone's achieved in 25 years, but I think I'm onto something there. I'll see what the skipper says next week.
Just banter, signposted for clarity.
