11th November is a national holiday here.  Got the day off work.

GOD BLESS THE FALLEN LESS WE FORGET SHOP AT SAINSBURY'S

Another touching, dignified tribute.

See the buses are going to have poppies on them as well with lest we forget on the side

Could do with someone getting a grip on this, it's embarrassing and totally undignified.

I CARE MORE THAN YOU

Load of poppycock tbf.

It's just one bus is it not?

Not that that's much better right enough.

@ExcelPope: An in-depth think-piece from me about why I *can't* wear a poppy on my jacket this year.

The phrase used to be 'Lest we forget. Never again'. The fact never again has fallen away sums up where the poppy appeal has lost its way.

From a friend's FB:

There's a big OFFICIAL MERCHANDISE van for poppy Scotland at the kirkgate. The whole thing has become as commercialised as Halloween.

Excuse me stranger, can I rearrange your poppy

fuck off

I'd have rearranged the old cunt's face

Wish we had lost the war tbh.

Considering the green stem was only introduced in the last few years then the 11 o clock position thing and the grass and crops future hope shite is total nonsense.

But we didn't thanks solely to HMFC.

Can we get a poppy twibbon on the TH twitter please. As many and as vulgar looking as possible
