X Factor Poppies?

I thought it wasa bit much, when Dermot O'Leary was the only one wearing a British Legion Poppy.

With all their money, I would have thought they could have all bought one.

I haven't seen them on sale ?

Why do you need to advertise that you support any particular charity. We all have a choice of who to give money to, why shouldn't they?

[jaydah]

Its not advertising a donation, more remembrance of lives lost. Other charities (not that again) have tokens, ribbons, flowers, wrist bands etc.

I would buy a poppy if I could find a seller.

I always refuse to wear a poppy, even though I happily put money in the collecting boxes. That's because I don't believe in commemorating the dead but I'm happy to help the living.

A friend once berated me for not wearing a poppy, despite the fact that I'd put several pounds into each of five separate RBL collecting boxes, yet he happily told me that he'd avoided contributing anything because he was wearing a poppy which someone else had dropped!
