Remembrance Day Poppies
 
British Consulate-General > One Broadway, Cambridge MA 02142

Those in Boston can pick them up there at reception.

I brought some back from the UK last November...I put them in a really good, safe place but I can't remember where. :o

It's the sort of thing you find in a drawer in April or something :lol:
I'm now wondering if I can get one somewhere.

(although it looks to be closed at the moment) :(

Its where we got ours from this year. Bought the lapel pins and traditional style ones too. Bit steep on shipping, but I guess overall the money is going to a good cause:thumbup:

The local VFW has them here, call your local hall and see, mine were very helpful.

I've tried that in the past, none of them had any, though I donated to them, and had the British Legion in San Fran send me some in the past because the Boston consulate usually runs out.

Don't go, don't do it!!!!...I went in for Poppies and came out $200 bucks lighter:blink:

I do it every time.....but this time I was a bit more careful on their prices - eg their curry sauce at 6.99 can be had in HEB for half that....Did get stuck on Hula Hoops though...and Christmas Crackers....couple of Christmas puds....black pudding.....bacon....it soon adds up!
