Yet again an item has been listed which describes itself as a Nursing badge for Cardiff University.It is not and I have asked the vendor to correct their listing,but I won't necessarily hold my breathe.
I'm sure I've seen this badge before on ebay and it was listed wrong then as well - but thanks for the heads up Its so easy to spend when its an area you're interested in and think its a are badge

This is actually a Very small and cheap fund raiser badge for the hospital,completely unlike the lovely nurses badge from the hospital
I've seen this one on sale before. Why does it say For Service on it?
Fund raising was considered a great service for the voluntary hospitals.They constantly needed to fund their works which were totally dependant upon public support(Much like the current government's plans for the NHS!)
Thank you for that, it makes sense.

I love this one,not one emblem that links to either hospital,take four initials and devise some fictitious hospital related title,priceless opportunism!
Perhaps we should start a be wary page.
