Re: Remembrance Poppies
My friend brought me a few over from the UK last week so I am proudly wearing one just now, in fact, I just looked and I have a pin badge one too.
If I remember rightly tho you can get them in the British Council. Failing that and if you want a pint you can get them in Fibbers.

Brought a couple back from the UK. Pin badge is a good shout for future though.

Re: Remembrance Poppies
I'm in danger of derailing the thread but my issue is not about people remembering WW1, it's about the use of the funds collected. The donations are being used to support all British ex-servicemen in need, I'm not entirely comfortable with supporting servicemen who were involved in other actions worldwide N. Ireland included.
