Thankfully Al you appear to be wrong,
As an aside, is it my imagination? But poppies seem to be thin on the ground this year.
According to this morning's Telegraph, '...as record donations, expected to reach £30million, are pouring into the Royal British Legion...'
I think we have a lot to thank the media for here, they all appear to be batting firmly on the side of Tommy, and lately not a day goes by without the plight of the British Serviceman being mentioned. Yes it could be better, yes the numbers of injured being repatriated each week could get a mention, but I never thought I would say, 'Thank You British Media,' but I am happy to do so at the moment.
I have just returned from my local town and it is swamped with the Cadet Forces selling Poppies. To those of you that give up your free time to manage these youngsters, 'well done.' You put me to shame.
