I usually get one, i wear it for about 2 hours then I lose it... the pins never stay on for me, and they always fall off.

[Nicky.]

Every year I do xx

and I wear it x

[Damaris]

I always buy like 5 and wear them all (=.

[Mrluvaluva]

I normally buy one.

[Z]

They normally take those rubbish plastic ones round our school, that you can't even pin to yourself, but I always do, yeah.

[Spike]

No, I don't believe in buying or wearing them

[Christina]

They usually come round at school and i end up buying myself and most of my friends poppys too. My mum and dad also wear them!

[Xander]

A old women just came round to see if I wanted one, I gave her 10p, ah well at least I got a poppy. ^_^

[Annie]

I always buy one and wear it - But I aint one of these people that will wear it for a week before hand. Just the one day.

I buy one every year and always wear it.

[Legend]

No. I understand completely what they're about, and completely respect the cause, I just don't see how pinning a paper flower to me is 'showing respect' to be fair.

[Jake!]

I buy a poppy out of respect for my Great-Great-Grandad and everyone else who lost their life in any war...

Fair enough - what about the money that they make from selling the poppies?

[Sticks]

I see people wearing them but can not see where they are on sale.

The bus driver said he got his on Ebay :conf2:

Supermarkets sell them.

[Sticks]

That is where I am going wrong then

I avoid supermarkets like the plague and shop at the market or in local shops :blush:

[*mazedsalv**]

I bought one 3 days ago.

[NettoSuperstar!]

A woman came to my door and sold me one! I always buy one. People died for our freedom!

[Sticks]

Our works have just got them in, but I need to wait until Friday (Pay day) before I can get one :sad:

Oh I give money, just don't get the poppy.

[Hugo]

Yes. :colour:

[Jen]

[Jake!]

Poppies are an honour of respect and I believe everyone should wear one, at least on the day...

[Jackie]

I used to but don't bother now.

[womanizer]

Watch out girl.

Poppies have opium within.

Opium can send you to sleep.

I saw it in the wizard of oz.

But when I walked into the perfume shop to buy my mum a present it was rather expensive.

Take it off.

It's nearly time for bed.

I dont want you to stab yourself with a pin.

Blood on white sheets really show up.

"and I'm not talking periods either"

[AngRemembered]

Most charity shops sell them, I always support the poppy appeal and have done so this year its a truly great cause:thumbs:

[hannah.]

same actually

[Princess]

If I can get one I do,but they don't sell them in many places over here.

[Sticks]

Do some people still think they are glorifying war?

I did wonder with the war against terror, some might see it as related to that, even though it predates it by several decades :bored:

[TwinklesB12]

I always buy and wear one I have done since I was very small and I think I always will do.

[pinkmichk]

[pete_bennet]

Why is that?

[Sunny_01]

I always buy one and wear one, it is a mark of respect for those that fought to let us live the way we do today.

[Sticks]

I have one and I wear it

Some believe it glorifies war, hence some peace groups sell white poppies :rolleyes:

[Tom]

I bought one today but I don't wear them, they annoy me and always fall off, and they never match my clothes :blush2:

*sounds like such a woman*
