PH Cycle Jerseys - the wanted thread
Discussion
I suspect I'm not alone in missing the deadline for ordering a PH cycle jersey. Therefore, I thought I'd start this thread so that all the swap-shop offers, changes of heart and begging can be collected in one place.
I'm after an XL. If anybody has one going, please let me know!
Thanks,
Thom

I've already pinged Garlick on this and he's going to check for me on Monday, appreciate you checking for me Garlick and my fingers are well and truly crossed.
To make it official, I was after a small jersey.
I'd originally been on the list (3rd from memory - on the original list, missed all subsequent lists!!) as I caught this early and then completely slipped my mind over Christmas. Saw it in the new year and the heart sank as I was really looking forward to getting a PH Jersey - they look awesome too!!
Anyway, here's hoping there is a spare small jersey laying around at Garlick HQ.

Probably be easier if Garlick worked out what was left after a week or two in case of returns (zippers not working etc..) It would be frustrating if someone who had followed the strict criteria ended up without a shirt because the few spares were sold to those who suddenly want in.
Also, and this may be controversial, as there are so few spares I wonder if they aught to be autioned and the excess given to charity.
Again, a lot of us have waited years for this opportunity. Everybody had the same chance to risk it last year and put our names on a list, then further investment made as we put our names on yet another list, then, finally a list was made of people willing and able to send a cheque or postal order to a chap in Teddington. This list became a list of people who had sent the required paperwork and a new thread started whilst the long good wait started.
To cheapen such excertion by merely selling an item would be a black day for those that suffered the formatting of lists, the duplicate names, size changes and long soulless trek to a post office to enquire what a "postal order" was. Indeed, such sacrifice must be honoured, and we honour these men as we see them struggling through lifes uphills wearing their badge of honour. a smiling face embalazoned above the two pistons.
Such sacrifice, such endeavour and just reward

Actually, some of us were carrying out other acts of sacrifice, endeavour etc thousands of miles away, where Internet was patchy and the post office non-existent. So how about you get off the high horse, eh? 
Are you really playing the "I'm in the forces" card. I'm not sure if it trumps the "I haven't posted on PH for over a year but really want a cycle shirt" card but maybe it will.You should have joined the RAF. At least one member of the forces managed to read the forum and get his order in
For future reference https://www.gov.uk/british-forces-post-office-serv... should be able to help.
Good luck in your valiant quest (getting a shirt) and chill baby
. Brilliant banter. Did you pick that up in auction too? BFPO is very good, actually but the limited Internet conectivity I preferred to use on speaking to family. When I got back, I though it might be a good idea to start a thread so that those of us who couldn't sign up at the time could at least form an orderly queue. Sorry if that offends your sensibilities, but since you've already signed up for a jersey, I suggest you dry your eyes and butt out!

It is designed so people can have an opinion. Whilst I appreciate not everyone ordered the shirts when available, that's life.
There are spares, but as there may be some required for swaps i dont think the left overs should be sold too quickly.
Additionally, as they are in short supply i believe that some could be auctioned and the profits go to charity. I would certainly bid for one.
no offence, but let's chill
