Re: Do you wear one and if so why?

I have never ever been approached by a poppy seller.
Poppies have been on sale at various outlets.....Asda had members of the British Legion in their store on the run up to Armistice Day.
There were sellers in front of the town Hall, but they didn't approach people.
I always seek out the opportunity to donate to this appeal above others.....because the money goes to help ex servicemen, veterans of all conflicts.
To me, that is more important than Red Nose Day, children in Need and all the others put together.
