Let's call this POE 101. The last time I saw my beloved Uncle Bert alive, way back in 1983, he was selling poppies. And my all-time favourite poem is 'In Flander's Fields', which I'll post on the 11th. |

If so you won't always so you need to click on 'Latest Posts' up on the top left hand side, 5th option down as follows Home Hope that sorts your problem out Shirley. Now, getting back to how you wear your poppy. Paul, I reckon that's totally out of order in both cases that you quote. Why don't people stop and think, or could it be that they are afraid it or they might offend somebody? Edited by: Ron Brind at:8th November 2010 18:42 |

And if so is there a differentiation between the female & male members of the force as to which side they wear the poppy? Or is it a given that if you are in uniform you would automatically wear the poppy on the left hand side? |
