Sorry, I’m trying to figure out how to post the photos. I didn’t realise I hadn’t attached them :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

It’s often in the corner on phones, but It’s usually on the top bar next to the emoji icon on bigger screens.

Thank you @hairbear. I have no idea how it’s in my procession :woman_shrugging:

A previous visit to Wandsworth?

The brewery or the prison?

I didn’t want to ask, :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

It’s actually a lapel-badge.
Harks back to the days when a man’s jacket would have a button hole on the left lapel.

Many enterprises/clubs/associations etc etc would offer such badges.

And proper surgeon’s cuffs.

for cufflinks, surely ???

Cufflinks on a jacket?

Those buttons on the end of a jacket sleeves are surgeon’s cuffs or, at least, they are when they have real button holes.

None of this white coat malarkey in the old days, unbutton the cuffs and dive right in.

Ah, it’s too early in the morning for me… but I now see what you mean. Yes, I’ve seen (and got) jackets with buttons on the cuffs but not buttonholes

I’ve never heard the phrase “surgeon’s cuffs” but, perhaps you are older than I am :wink: :rofl: if such is possible)
