S5 , disgusted at the lack of poppies in shops.

[Eric_Collins]

Not many things get my goat but this really gets me going !

 

I've been looking to buy a poppy for about a week now and S5 shops don't seem to be forthcoming with them.

 

Joblot

Best one

ASDA (totally supprised me this)

 

 

These are major shops on the estate and fail to sell poppies to help our war dead and injured.

 

I managed to put money in a poppy box in a shell petrol station on the A57 but didn't get supplied even a poppy.

 

Totally disgusted.

Strange, is that. I got mine, and a wristband, from the poppy stall at the bottom of the escalator, in Asda.

so how about you volunteer for the Royal British Legion and sell poppies in the S5 area - perhaps those shops haven't been approached?

There is life outside S5 you know, maybe travel a little further.

Don't have time, 6am up 2hr drive to Nottingham , work till 5 then 2hrs back then in bed for 10. Ready for it all again.

Then pick one up whilst you're out.

How ? Not many shops on the M1.

I'm glad you said that, I thought I must have been imagining the POPPY STALL IN ASDA!!

 

Yup, they are definitely on sale in Asda.

 

I wonder if it's the same Asda that the OP went to??

Cool - another thread about ASDA in Parson Cross!
