Gibbo Posted 6 October , 2013 Share Posted 6 October , 2013 I was in an Edinburgh pub yesterday (5 October 2013) that had a box of poppies and accompanying collecting tin on its bar. I didn't see anybody wearing one in the pub or at the football match that the vast majority of the customers would have been attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug504 Posted 6 October , 2013 Share Posted 6 October , 2013 We've seen quite a few already this year, since mid Sept. Tend to notice because my wife works for the Royal British Legion and every time we see a collection box she informs me the "Official Poppy Launch" hasn't taken place yet. "What does it matter" is my reply as long as people are contributing! I also tend to say the R.B.L. could learn a thing or two about marketing from "Help For Heroes", far too much "dodgy" advertising emphasis in Sunday papers re: stairlifts, expanding pants and the like.

Old Tom Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 About this time last year I noted a collector in a small town in Var, France (Villecroze). Lots of Brits in that area. Old Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
