Wear your poppy with pride

[denis567]

I live near to a Sainsbury Distribution Centre and I have noticed that all their lorries (owned and operated by Wincanton) have an enormous poppy fixed to their front grill. It is nice to see such a large organisation supporting the Poppy Appeal in such a positive way. Compared to the news item today, about the mindless vandals who are desecrating war memorials, it restores your faith in human nature. Well done Sainsbury (or Wincanton)

Hear hear! Maybe the other supermarkets should take note!

The scumbags who steal the memorial plaques should be punished severely!

A surprisingly good post from a Fev fan (joking!) ;)

We allways wear poppies, and take time to talk to the vetarans selling them and if they are selling them in or near a shop which sells take out coffee/tea we ask if they want onex

Good to see a big company leading the way. Have to admit I haven't bought mine yet. A Rhinos fan.

Have mine and a purple one too... for the animals that died alongside humans in the same conflicts... especially the springer who was killed by the taliban alongside his handler...

I treated myself to a Buckley Poppy brooch this year via the online Poppy shop, have still popped donations in tins though, Was asked twice whilst out where I got it , so more sales to come hopefully.

gran - a great team! I met Brian mac earlier this year - what a gent! and soooo tall!

rowan - where can we get the purple ones from please? x

I have the small enamel one, less floppy than the standard poppy.

Mine has no date on it, so is reused, but I still put a few quid in the box.

I have my purple one! And my car sticker to show support.

You can buy them at the animal aid website.

Well done sainsburys!
