most of the TV pundits on BT/ Sky / ITV etc have been wearing them, first time i've seen them, very popular.
I don't get these 'pins' or the sparkly poppies being worn by some women? Surely people are simply wearing ones they bought in previous years. I wonder how many people wear one but don't make a donation?
Part of modern life that Keith. People trying to spread "awareness" rather than actually getting involved.
I contribute to two mental health charities through my wages, and that's it. Call me sceptical but I just won't give money to any collector nowadays as firstly, I don't like "Chugging" as how on earth should you be paid to raise money for a charity, and secondly there's so many instances of money getting lifted from bogus sellers I'd much rather the money goes direct to the charity, I get tax relief, they get gift aid, literally everybody wins.
I observe the silence in memory of my granddad and in respect to a lot of forces people I've met through football both home and abroad. Most of the time this means I've not got a poppy on. Does this make me a bad person?
