That was quick, I only posted them last night ... couldn't believe the post office class it as a large letter :roll:

If you started this years BB 200 then expect yours in the post today / tomorrow.

Started?
Yes ... regardless of whether people finished or not, everyone who lined up deserves one of these.

Sent yours to your home address Gairy.

lord preserve us, I clicked on that urban dictionary link and then onto the meaning of Blumkin (trending it said). I can't get the image out of my head. :o

Nice one Stu, the inner child in me is still weirdly excited about getting a badge.

It'll serve as a reminder of the event once my cut shin, split skin, collapsing left knee and other remaining ailments have all healed.

Fine now thanks.

It was basically just rubbed until it bled. Nothing lasting though there was some swelling for a few days :-bd

I have a ripped open empty envelope with a welsh postmark on it.

I'm happy with badge I already have though :-bd

It's comforting that even the post can't do the route without incident.

That's exactly what I received as well.

It came in a plastic bag that said
"We are sorry that the enclosed item sent from abroad and addressed to you was received damaged by Royal Mail at the point of entry into the UK."

Such a bunch of complete shitesters. The Royal Mail stamp on the letter didn't give it away? x(

Same here, there's obviously a postman somewhere with a good collection of badges!

I have some spares ... if you received nowt but an envelope give me a shout and I'll sort you out asap, be a shame for the world not to know how much you suffered :-bd

that explains a lot...

came home yesterday and found an empty ripped envelope on my door step

Didn't have a clue what it was as don't normally get handwritten mail and only thought badges went to finishers.

* As an aside I think I will wear mine upside down to identify it as a badge of failure and not a badge of honour :-bd

Sounds like some numpty was hoping there was more than just badges in these envelopes! Wonder if anything would happen if you all complained as a group.

I think the likely cause of the problem is my poundshop envelopes :roll:
