Leitmark Spotting

It occurred to me today, that I have been wearing my starter-pack leitmark
on my rucksack (which I use most days) for several months now. Wink
And despite walking through the central shopping area of Birmingham every work day,
I have had no one mention it, or stop me and chat randomly about PXC.
Not that I actually expected it, but I thought it might happen
especially considering the camaraderie that is present on Unfiction.

I was just wondering if anyone else had ever spotted anyone wearing a leitmark?
(outside of the PCAG event obviously )
and if anyone (not necessarily someone who wears one regularly)
has had it start a conversation with a stranger etc.?

About a month after Clapham I was in a club and for some reason was wearing a leitmark-some bloke came up and started speaking to me about perplex city, which was a bit odd. It was too loud, and I wasn't really in the...erm....right frame of mind to have a decent chat with him though.

I would ware my ones only for the fear of losing them. Might Make some kind of holder for them so it look like an imprial officers badge from star wars. Grand Moff Baker Very Happy

Mind you, I have that many spare cards that I could probably earn the coloured leitmarks again, so I could wear my spare ones instead and needn't worry about loss.

Yeah I wear four of the badges I have pretty regularly, they're on my jacket like military badges. Only thing is, the metal things that hold them don't seem to be pretty safe, so every once in a while whilst I am travelling, I check to make sure they are all there, (just incase I knocked some of them off in the process of being squashed in the central line).

So you're suprised that people don't spot you wearing the leitmarks that you're not wearing? *brain asplodes*

I wear my four. The most I've ever gotten is "is that a charity badge?" or "Lost? Who's lost? Are you lost?"

Mine are on my rucksack (not the red one though, because I've lost the back off it somewhere between here and Oxford, and haven't found a replacement bit yet). I've not had any comments about them, but at the London live event there was a cameraman who seemed to spend longer than necessary pointing a video camera at my bag, which I had temporarily dumped in a corner whilst biscuit-stacking and backwards-spelling.

i did used to wear my 333 leitmark all the time round manchester and round london while i lived there too, no comments whatsoever (apart from the manchester meet up with the planespotting and all that malarky)
used to wear it on the lapel of my bright blue coat, til i got so paranoid of it falling off and getting lost that i put it on my bag, which was thinner fabric so i though the stupid pin back thing would keep it on better. it didn't. fell off somewhere in the middle of manchester ages ago :( any northern PXC ebay-ers wants to go looking for it, probably worth a fortune ;)

looking forward to getting my red leitmark soon hopefully but i doubt i'll be wearing it unless they make the fixture mechanism a hell of a lot more secure. these are priceless award medals for honourable duties to the retrieval of the sacred receda cube, you'd think they'd make em a bit higher quality ;)

rach =)

I've had "Tsol? They are my favourite band! What's your favourite song?!"
That left me a tad confused. And most people assume it is for the TV show Lost. I am not sure which is geekier, the truth or the lie...

I wear two of mine (PCAG and Lost, I don't dare wear the 333 or coloured ones for fear of losing them like spug Smile) all the time on my jacket, but have only had a few confused comments from people at work. I did have one guy stare intently at them in the supermarket queue for ages, but he didn't say anything so not sure if he was a PXCer or just being rude by staring at my chest! Very Happy

I had my starter pack & PCAG ones on my bag since the London event but noone has asked me anything about them.
But like other people have said, the back fasteners don't seem to be very secure and I got paranoid about losing them and have taken them out of regular use.

I wear the LOST one, most of the comments have been from my friends along the lines of: 'oh is that something to do with that weird game....no don't talk about it again......'

Still not seen anyone else wearing one. Confused
