You are correct - that is why I expressed my opinion of the OP's post - in the same way as you have given your thought on my post. I might have made the mistake of elaborating on the subject - stating a significance of the ritual of wearing a poppy - I do so hope that I haven't offended anyone.
Didn't read. Correct, the husband was a unionist, the wife a nationalist so she insisted if they were to name it the crown that it must be at the front door so everyone can tread on it. Drank in there a good few times, too busy for my liking. We were in it last summer and some ol fella had a go at my mate, can't remember the reason. Was barking on about the RA etc. despite him being about 70 odd, wobbly on his feet and in the midst of half dozen young unionists.
I wonder if the royal marines, currently on trial for murdering a civilian, are wearing their poppies today I wouldn't
Yes, it makes one flower feel good, but so many others feel a bit left out. We need to celebrate all flowers.
