Remembrance Day Poppies
« on: November 02, 2014, 07:54:13 PM »
I learnt something yesterday that I didn't know. To wear a poppy correctly the leaf should be pointing towards 11o'clock for obvious reasons.

Long standing joke Ironsky between me and some forum members. I've had the same poppy for a few years.
I always donate to the charity, but don't see the reason in taking a new poppy every year. I store my old one under the steering column of the taxi :-)
Looks like I'll be buying a new one this year and putting it in my tax disk holder. Got no other use for it now :-)
Tax disk holder that is ;-)

Fly: the British legion have latched on to that fact. They've come up with a poppy holder to sit where the tax disc holder now sits. Would you like me to get you one?

I was agreeing with you  :))
I wasn't implying 'you' were being disrespectful.

I was wondering why it mattered how the poppy is displayed. If you buy a poppy you've given money to the British Legion, surely that's enough. I don't know why Fly said "And respect costs nowt". Makes no sense to me. Still doesn't.  :-?

Yes please JR, I'm sure we could organise a pickup time, I pass Sainsbury's at least 20 times a week LOL
