Default Poppy Day.

I've just bought my poppy today. I've known a lot of ex-service men(women I know also served and still do)They are selling them now, if you can and want to please give em a bit of spare change. It's good to remember the people who have served the country and the ones who never came home.

Not risking losing mine
It is stuck to my computer with my Union "SATOP THE JOB CUTS" sticker
Two worthy causes I think

My grandad has a cross at the memorial next to thompson centre..the naval association organised it when he died in the early 90's. Its really nice to be remembered in this small way.
Doubly significant for me as my step dad died 11/11/2000 (official rememberance day)...grandad died 25/11/93 so november was a rubbish month..gets better though lol..my son was born 19/11/2001.
Im waffling now lol..sorry!!! :)

If he had passed it to you & prcked you then you could sue him for it.
So it's simple, either you do not have a pin or you get it yourself.

There have been many pin related accidents resulting in near death over the past few years & the BL need to protect themselves from the legal onslaught this generates.

I.E. a Mrs Betsy Coed of wales was stuck with a pin when she bought her poppy in 1986 & still has the scar to prove it. Damages were awarded to the sum equal to that that she paid. She is now 26p better off as she still has her poppy too.
:D :D

I still have the poppy I bought last year, it's on my dress shirt still.
Can I be tight & use that..lol

While I still have some cash on me I think I'll pop downstairs & get another, it will save me ironing it again.

The kids at school sell poppies and arent allowed to take the pins around, maybe they might stab each or catch aids! :(
