wearing a poppy

what a load of c**p, poppies are for remembrance to the dead of all the wars that gb has been in .its like saying "i'm going to die because i have health issues"......whatever next......

Where to get poppies at this time of year? Do people keep them from one November to the next?
The idea is a good one but it isn't clear to me how near the surface 'underlying' health problems have to be in order to amount to 'vulnerablity'. Surely pretty well everyone over 65 has an 'underlying health problem' of some sort - goes with the territory. Is there some index of severity? Otherwise all public places will be a field of poppies and avoiding them will be quite a feat of dexterity.

I would not do it. You draw attention to yourself, and the wrong type of people could misenterpret. You could get abused, or worse attacked.

What next, a bell around your neck ?

My thoughts exactly EllanVannin

We should be giving everyone a wide berth at the moment.

Poppies are for November. If I saw someone wearing a poppy now, I would just assume they have never bothered to remove it.

Ellan ? .....and shout ‘unclean, unclean’ at the same time as the bell ringing.

Hmmmm, at least that would clear the queues at the tills.?

What’s to stop anyone wearing a poppy, whether they’re vulnerable or not? I don’t think this is going to fly.

Obviously going by the responses this wouldn't work.

People would be panic buying poppies!

I was going to say the same to Ellan, lemongrove!

We do have a bell somewhere

Has anyone asked the RBL what they think of this idea?

I`m with moggie57,lemongrove and EllanVannin.

Who on earth thought this up? Last thing you want to do is draw attention to yourself any nut could have a go. Fed up with the patronising aimed at our age group!

Not a good idea at all.
