The one on the official site is perfectly suitable for a truck, to be honest id be wary of buying from ebay how much money goes to the poopy appeal if any

Means nothing anyone can write words. Ebay offer a service for charities it is a little blue ribbon and this listing doesn’t have that

Well I don’t bother. As it’s no-one elses business that I chuck an extra “nifty” to the RBL everytime I pay my annual subs (ex-services and all that).
But I ALWAYS watch the London ceremony (took part in 93) on the telly and always look up the names of those I served with, who’re no longer around, for whatever the reason…

And the although the amount of people taking part every year seems to get bigger, for me, the amount of veterans that fought in WW2 of which I have an interest in, gets smaller.

.
surely we are remembering veterans from conflicts after WW2 as well

After reading on here about people claiming he wasn’t genuine I contacted the sellar and asked if I could purchase a Lorry Poppy and collect it from him as he’s in Grantham and I live in Newark, I’ve just been to see him and we chatted for about 30mins about Poppys, the appeal, Ebay and I mentioned to him about this forum and the disbelievers. He gave me a photocopy of a receipt from the Legion for £10,000 dated 31/12/2010 to show it was genuine. He also told me that for about a month around this time of year him and his wife sit at the computer between 4am and 10pm constantly dealing with Ebay and average 4-500 broaches sold per day between the 3 accounts they use.
I firmly believe this man to be genuine and honest, and every penny he gets will be going to the appeal.
So stop wondering and dismissing his Ebay selling, get your ■■■’s on there and buy one for your truck !

I bought one from him last year, and it came with a similar photocopy of a receipt, so I believe it’s genuine too!
the only problem I had was the winds over the Severn estuary broke it ! the two cable ties aren’t enough to secure it ! I would recommend adding some more to stop it flapping
