White Poppies

[Mad Doug Biker]

I never thought it was about showing our grief, for two minutes, one day of every year.

It was a joke (at least I think it was) between Slowmotion and myself in response to Avalon's post:

This is all a bit civilised. Where have all the aggressive, argumentative CC members gone?

I will stop now, partly because I'm tired, but mainly because I'm straying ever further into dubious taste territory (more so than usual I mean).

white or red poppies... the only ones i've seen so far this year have been on the telly.

real people, i guess, don't fear a tabloid backlash should they not wear a poppy.

Isn't it about raising money?
I'm not suggesting that's a bad thing, by the way.

that's what i thought... but i have a sneaky feeling the only people i see wearing them (on telly)... haven't bought them.

Been there, done that, it just isn't worth getting involved with 'The Poppy Police'
