Can't remember seeing any red poppies fixed to front of cars - I suspect that the Red Nose days did for that.

Actually, in the light of the fuss about public figures not wearing red poppies, I'd love the same principle to be applied to Red Nose Day. Parliamentary Question Time would be greatly improved by this.

As for the matter of respect for veterans, my father was with the 8th Army in North Africa and up throuh Italy, and never wore a Red Poppy in his life. Never sung God Save the King, or the Queen either.
