Yes, I usually end up buying quite a few as I either lose them or forget to swap it over to whichever jacket I'm wearing....buying poppies is something i don't mind at all...

Yes,my late Dad and his two  brothers all served in the  second world war.Fortunately all came home safe and well.

Not come across any seller yet but, yes I usually buy one.

Yes I wear my poppy with pride, I also go to the Cenotaph each remembrance Sunday.

Yes, I do. The British Legion does great work in supporting ex-service personnel and it's important to help them, and to remember all those who put their lives on the line for us.

Yes - Usually from the kids' school, or if someone comes to the door.

Yes, always. In remembrance of those who have fought and died for this country, and for those still doing so.

Always have, always do and always will

I'm ashamed to say i haven't been to the Remembrance Day parade for a few years I will go this year My Dad ALWAYS took us as kids, up to being around 14/ 15, he doesn't offer now, I think it's because he goes for a few pints afterwards and he doesn't want to put his hand in his pocket and buy me one

There was a parade in Bolton a month or two back, a homecoming for Soldiers, i only found out about it AFTERWARDS, it wasn't in the local paper beforehand....I was gutted as I would've been there to show my support...

Yes I do every year.

I bought my poppy the other day I tend to forget to move it to whatever jacket i'm wearing, but I did remember today

I generally buy lots of them cos I keep knocking the pin that holds them onto my jacket out so lose the poppy and have to buy another.

I go here as I live in Ireland but think its a very important cause....

Funnily enough, I finally remembered to buy one this afternoon.
Always wear one  - or rather, try to remember to...

Do they sell them in Northern Ireland?

My car tends to do better than me. I normally get a large poppy and a windscreen sticker. They fall off me usually.

Yes, always

Yes every year.

Always buy at least one and one of those little crosses with a poppy to put on my parent's grave. Always  watch the remembrance day parade in my village and always, but always, cry! The bugler playing the Last Post reduces me to a snivelling wreck, and  there always seems to be at least one less old boy every year. I was v v nearly called Poppy as I was born on remembrance day and my 11 year old cat is called Poppy as I got her on my birthday

Yes they do

Nope.  I put money in the collection tin, but I don't take a poppy.

I don't buy or wear them but each to their own. One thing I disagree with is that out national Broadcaster namely BBC and UTV make their News presenter wear them whether they want to or not which I think is pretty unfair.

I usually try to buy white poppies, rather than red ones.

Have they complained?

I think it's pretty much expected over here, but I don't know if anyone has objected.

I think that wearing 'em on the tellybox from mid October is a bit over the top mind.

It gets earlier every year!

I have!!!! I think it belittles the meaning of what the poppy is for, if folk are going around wearing them for 3 or more weeks in advance of remembrance day. To me it smacks more of 'It's just one of those things we do' rather than a meaningful gesture.
I even wrote to  the BBC and STV about hou early their presenters are wearing poppies and that even all the guests are wearing them too. Even when they're just in their shirt sleeves.

I got some nonsense back about how they just make the poppies available, but leave it up to the individual to decide when and if they want to wear one.

So I sent a further message saying how I thought that very implausible and didn't they think it very strange that every single person, employee and guest. independently decided to start wearing a poppy at EXACTLY the same time?
Strangely enough, I got no response from that.

I think like that about the 2 mins silence thing away from the actual service itself, like in supermarkets or workplaces.

Why, If you don't mind me asking?

I always buy one....... and eat it.    (just the plastic mind )

A Lady bought a tray of poppies into work today - minus the pins ... apparently they are too dangerous

I think they actually stopped doing that for a few years, but then it was started up again. Also, I'm sure it only used to be 1 minute.
As a child I remember we had to wear our brownie/guide/cub/scout uniform to school or church on Remembrance Day.

It would'nt bother me if they wore them 12 months a year or sticking out their arses aslong as the money goes to the ex servicemen and their families....

 There is actually one Sports reporter I can think of that takes the week off before remembrance Sunday as he refuses to wear them, I think its a personal choice.

Inflation. 

It's always been a two minute silence. The only thing that has changed is that it is now on the nearest Sunday to the 11th, and not on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month

although, lots of people still do it then

You mean all the shops and businesses do it on a Sunday?
What purpose would that serve? There are still people and places that only work Monday to Friday.
Hasn't Remembrance Sunday always been the nearest Sunday to the 11th?
