The Great Poppy Debate!
Have you got your Poppy on? I have bought two I think, perhaps three, donating a few quid to the Royal British Legion in the process in hoping that it may go some way to helping some poor bastard who has had his legs blown off in one of the horrendous wars the Bush/Blair axis took us in to in the last decade or so.
