PH Merchandising Opportunities
Discussion
Ted,
there are a few things I'm surprised and disappointed to find missing from the PH shop.
here's the thing - and no offence meant to any PHers here..... but, whilst PHers and Numpties are easily distinguished from one another on the road, there are environments where it's a little more difficult to tell who's really upto what. I have brief and fleeting encounters every day with people at work and I muse momentarily, speculating on what they drive and how they drive it. I am irritated by the presence of people who I feel would be holding me up if I were behind them on the road.... well... okay, paranoid megalamaniacal delusions cut in there for a minute..
Anyway, the point is, I was thinking about how PHers might identify one another and make contact outside of the motoring environment. Apart from us all being bloaters
, there needs to be some other sign..
Obviously, hand shakes and funny walks and such like are out of the question as we're all old enough to have developed our individual silly walks..
So, here are a couple of ways we might communicate our PHness in a day to day scenario:
In order of most feasible and serious first.
1) PH coffee mugs *
* Coffee not included or compulsory. Coffee may be substituted by any other caffeine laden beverage of choice. Or beer if there are no clean glasses and the dog's just licked the top of your can.
2) PH Lapel Pins
Many of us supposedly wear jacket/shirt & tie combo at work*... well one *could* adorn ones lapel with a poppy, or an IAM pin or one's university graduation, rugby prize, masons, groanpace or other pin of affiliation. *OR* we could cut though all that bullshit and wear a PH pin..
* Mel will have noticed that I wasn't attired to the usual professional standard today. He should be advised that the chairman** of my company declared it to be casual season until the office is warmer than the outside again.
** Me.
I have the feeling that I started this post as a lucid drunk and now I'm fading fast, so I'm going to cut my losses

CarZee - did you ever intend to finish off your inebriated diatribe?
Seems the everyone has joined in with some good ideas anyway.. umbrella is v. good idea..
I had a big list of ideas in my head when I started the post, but I was obviously unable to extoll their virtue before my window of opportunity closed..
How about PH wallpaper? Better than Superman anyway
PistonHeads Tax Disk holders! 
Hi Piston Ted, RACE GIRL here, RACEBOY says I should be on pissheads.com 
, but I would really like a pistonheads vest top, preferably not in black as it gets bloody warm at Donington, so White would be better. Just something simple like thin straps, and a pistonheads logo on the left breast. Talking of breasts, please make sizes for other people that are not out of Cosmo! ie, Larger than Allie McBeal, a.k.a an amply busted girlie! Apologies for spelling but I work with numbers, not words, see you all whenever, or at PH4, love Claire ( a.k.a RACEGIRL )
