Touching news item in the last few days concerning a lady, widowed in WW1 at age 21 who is still selling poppies at age 91. RESPECT!
Indeed. And also to a 92 year old former sailor who has attended several events over the last few days to lay wreaths, and even had to travel to Belgium for the last one.

Of course he's one of the idle parasites who do nothing to justify their expense and whom the republicans want to get rid of!

baggersup - There was an interesting item on the radio the other day about the so-called "lucky villages" which dont have a war memorial for the simple reason that they lost no-one in either World War. It seems to be nothing more than random chance - a similar sized village a few miles away might have lost a dozen men, while all theirs came home safe.
