i have always worn a poppy to show respect to those who have fallen but do not put it on till a week before rememberance day when do you wear yours they get earlyer and earlyer on the telly why it does not mean they actually care just they are following the crowd what do you think val

you all wear them with respect that they should be worn with . not because it the done thing it anoys me when people do not give it the thought they should

I totally agree that we should all take the time to think about the meaning behind wearing a poppy however my money is of more use to them than my thoughts therefore regardless of why I see lots of poppy wearers, how early and why I am just glad that we all dig into our pockets and buy the poppies.

Hope you are all having a decent weekend.

I always buy a poppy, more than one in fact, but I don't tend to buy them until the end of the first week of November. November is the Remembrance month, to my way of thinking. I do have a large one for the car, which goes on at the same time as I buy and is removed on November 30th. DD

I wear a poppy every year, my youngest son bought mine the other day while I was in the car, when I tried to put it on it fell apart :roll: probably my clumsy hands. When ever I am out I always put some money in there collection box, but only take one poppy from my first donation.

i wear my poppy with pride for my dad you was a Japenise prisioner of war and came out the other side , but also for the ones that have lost thier lives and the ones that are still out fighting for peace , one poppy but many donations if i see a collector on the corner my hand hit the purse x

Never really thought about when I put it on, I usually wear it as soon as I find someone selling them and then wear it till it tears, falls off my coat or I remember to take it off when I notice no one else is wearing theirs.

I always observe the 2 minute silence as well. How many others do?
