I once knew a girl called Poppy. Shame that here parents did not foresee the consequences. I think Mr and Mrs Tupper have a lot to answer for...

Been driving around a bit tonight to pick up GnomeDotter #1 on her way back from a do and I saw loads and loads of people wandering about on their way to or from bonfire things. I will be very surprised if anything like that number are attending remembrance services. When the majority of people would rather celebrate the death of a Catholic rebel from 1600 and odd than remember those who died in more recent wars does it not indicate that people are not really that bothered by the poppy?

Just asking...
