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. 26-10-2008 12:43 PM

and I wear it x

Damaris 26-10-2008 12:59 PM

Mrluvaluva 26-10-2008 01:08 PM

I normally buy one.

Z 26-10-2008 01:42 PM

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

Spike 26-10-2008 01:58 PM

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

Christina 26-10-2008 02:34 PM

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 26-10-2008 02:40 PM

I buy one every year and always wear it.

Legend 27-10-2008 08:27 PM

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! 27-10-2008 08:35 PM

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 28-10-2008 06:43 AM

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 28-10-2008 06:51 AM

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** 28-10-2008 08:05 AM
