Every year this comes up, and it is always some knob, looking for a little bit of attention. I generally don't buy my poppy until the day before Remembrance Sunday, don't ask me why, I just do. I don't go about my daily business looking to see who is and isn't wearing a poppy. I do get the feeling however, that the meaning is being lost, and this is now becoming a bit of a social convention, where people must be seen to be doing the right thing, rather than thinking what it represents.
