S5 , disgusted at the lack of poppies in shops.

I've tried all routes from M1

 

Jk31 -A57 - A614

Jk29 - A616

Jk28 - A38

 

It's cos I work NE Nottinghamshire so no matter how I do it I have to leave the M1 I have to go cross country farm land.

 

You could always try M18 Jcn 2 - A1 South........

I walked around customer services by the enterence and around the fag counter and even looked on the tills.

 

Did you look at the bottom of the escalators?

So isn't just giving the money enough for you?

 

Surely it is better to give the money and not take a poppy since they must cost a small amount to produce.

 

It's not the money , it's a pride thing. I wear it as a mark of respect to the heros fallen past and present and to the funerals I've attended of my fallen mates.

 

I feel like a scumbag in a way because I'm not wearing one even though I've contributed twice this week.

If you only wanted to wear the poppy, you could save one and wear it year after year.

 

If you want to donate too, you can pop to Asda and get a new one instead.

 

This forum is ace at solving problems:)

No ta I'd like to earn one by giving a donation.

If its a pride thing and a mark of respect to fallen servicemen. Been an ex serviceman, do you wear one for the week or so running up to remembrance Sunday or the other 50 weeks of the year as well.

Seeing they are only sold 2 weeks before the 11/11 then it would be kind of hard would it not ?

 

Besides its more respectful to wear one at the right time when it's called for.

[Eric_Collins]

So you are narrow minded, judgmental & image obsessed, reading between the lines like

 

This a personal attack like ?

 

All I want to do is buy a poppy and you get some numpty calling you names ?

 

Welcome to Sheffield forum I guess.

Well you could purchase a poppy lapel pin badge and wear that year round as a mark of respect to fallen servicemen, then just make your own separate donation to the royal british legion every year.
