I don't mind remembering but I don't need the suicidal (whilst very good) music to go with it

Re: Lest we forget

I`ve seen an ad on TV for Remembrance Sunday and saw poppies but have not seen poppies on sale anywhere. I`m sure Australian /NZ soldiers fought in WW1.Is the poppy not such a symbol of Remembrance Sunday here?
Anyone?

Nah, it was right to put the link up. Maybe first thing in the morning (I'm a late riser) was just not the right time for me to see it

They can't be forgotten and people have to see faces to appreciate what actually happens. A name unfortunately means nothing to the general population.
