Absolutely agree. It is nobody else's choice if I wear a poppy, and in the very slim chance that it offends somebody, then I'm afraid it is tough. This is my country and I shall show my pride for it. I wouldn't expect to go to anybody else's country and then have the audacity to get offended by their traditions.
But I do still think it is a minority that get 'offended' by British traditions, the majority don't care, unfortunately the media hype it into a massive deal and too many people lap it up and take it as their gospel.
