Well said.
Agreed, well said.
I buy one every year, and have the medium variety on my car.
We owe these people a lot, so do the decent thing.
Ken.
Agreed, something to think about when you think you are having a bad day.

Great post.Buying a poppy isnt too much to ask. 
Hate that **** Blair and his orrible Mrs 
Inside a report into the houses and £millions Tony Blair has
Why has he never been tried for war crimes?, his lies are responsible for thousands of military and civilian deaths. I served in the last Gulf war and seen first hand the results of his lies. I hope this man dies a very slow painful death where all his money can’t help him.
Agree 100% with the sentiment and have bought a poppy already. The bliars and Tony’s cronies, now there are some real criminals.

No wonder the country is so (zb)
The Scotland football team manager has just been sacked but gets £35,000 a month untill his contract runs out comes to £750,000 and then you read about all the welfare cuts surely we will someday get a goverment that is willing to grab the nettle and address the fact that we are all in this together. Eddie.
got a medium poppy for the car, and gave them a tenner, they said we can’t give you any change, i said i didn’t want any…
It boils me ■■■■ to see these lads and lasses come home injured or in a box after doing a foreign tour or more and getting very little help apart from a nice parade but if you are an alcoholic or a druggie these so called ‘we are all in it together ■■■■■■■ in parliament’ will give you £105 a week’ !! bloody disgrace
Saw the headline and thought somebody had been driving a Merc Actros lol.
Must be terrible to lose limbs as a young person, my heart goes out to them.
Absolutely by chance, this came to my attention today:
A step in the right direction?
And I heard yesterday on radio 2 a feature saying ‘do you feel bullied in to buying a poppy’ I didn’t hear the feature as I had to turn off cause I thought it would p me off…
Honestly, bullied in to buying a poppy… Never heard anything so stupid! Imo them people who burn the poppys in public should be locked up.

I donate to the poppy appeal, but don’t often wear 1, mainly because I don’t take 1 when I donate because I just keep losing them and it feels more insulting in a way.
I don’t think it’s any of anyone elses business and never had anyone comment on my lack of wearing.
When I was on busses and coaches, I wore 1, it went easily in the button hole on my shirt and I was just sat there, but since moving to trucks, jumping up and down etc, I’ve not worn 1 in about 4 years.
Used to have 1 on the front of my truck, but I don’t keep a job long enough anymore - it’s now the 9th and I’ll be lucky to be in this job on the 11th

‘…The tool in charge now is no different …’
Why specifically? Because he’s a millionaire through inheritance, or ‘just because’?
PS, Am flowered up with my umpteenth poppy whilst remorseful of the lost & smashed-up - not that a lot of them would have wanted it that way: Plenty poor sods only wanted a half decent job - not an early box or to be patronised by those throwing/giving the country away

Only remember 1 person say anything and the stare did all I needed to do.
