Made sure I got my poppy, even got one for my phone.
In 1918, at 11.00am on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month – the First World War came to an end.
That was to be the war to end all wars, pity we didn’t learn from that

No and I have no intention of buying one, the red poppy raises money for people who gave their life and health for the defence of this country.
They get sod all from the government

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

no forgetting here …
