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

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

You'll probably find them in 14 years time :p

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

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.

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

Wonder if i can get one by mail, I do like to wear my poppy

(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:

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

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

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

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.

Might be nice if we all put a poppy avatar in profile. ;)

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

I'm going to get mine at the BI Shop later today - can pick you one up if you want to PM your address. Should get there in time

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

I haven't been to the BI store for a couple of years now, thought I was over it. I just looked at the web site....OMG...why did I do it. I want some Dolly Mixtures:lol: I haven't seen any of those for years

A minute in the mouth...an inch on the hips.

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

:p:p

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

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!

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

I know, that's why I stay out of there:eek:

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

What is the BI shop? I haven't heard of it and it sounds good :D

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

Its the local british shop in Houston - so a bit of a trek for you from Missouri! but they are online as well....something like www.britishislesonline.com

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

Any white poppies anwhere?

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

Thanks for the link, my OH went to the British Shop in Virginia Beach and got me poppies and flakes.

Re: Remembrance Day Poppies
 

LA area - Ye Old King's Head in Santa Monica had a sign out front advertising them last time I was there (a week ago, I think).

Canadian Legion is upset over the White Poppies. The Canadian Legion sells the Red ones in most shopping malls.

Thanks for the link Keith

"The red poppies are not political statements and the Legion doesn't have any political positions. The poppies are simply a symbol of remembrance. Nothing more," Mr. Ross said. "It seems to me that the people who usually distribute these [white] poppies and do these sort of things have never spent a day in their life in the service of their country."
I dont think he would understand political if it hit on the head.
