BlueWombat Feb 2012 3:08pm, 21 Feb 2012 5,925 posts	0 BlueWombat I have safety pins all over the place at home, and all in little groups of 4. These things look gimmicky and rubbish to me, compared with a good old safety pin!

Trin Feb 2012 3:33pm, 21 Feb 2012 3,652 posts	0 Trin I would take them back then Pudds... get a refund coz they don't work if they're not safe
Argie Feb 2012 3:35pm, 21 Feb 2012 8,825 posts	0 Argie I have an obsession with having a level number. Safety pins are dreadful at being part of a straight number solution.
