Andy mentions that Longrider has a post up on this poppy business, Lammy etc. in 2025. I added, in comments:
Agreed, plus two other factors:
* There’s that 100 year old WW2 chap who said it was hardly worth the effort looking around now.
* The new “commercial” poppies with the year stamped on them, so we cannot use them again.
I had about seven of the old sort with the cloth or paper petals but they *were* getting a bit tatty, so I threw them out, headed into town to buy more. There *were* none, only these slick, tiny, commercial badges with year stamped. That was in 2023 … never again.
What I particularly did not like was the man selling them. How much, I asked. He said “donation”, which it always had been, I took out a fiver to put in and he looked down his nose, not even a nod. That was the last time. How much is the CEO on p.a.?
