Nov 11th is coming soon. Today i saw a man selling poppies stop a young lady and asked if he could re position her poppy. While doing so, he told that lady she should wear the poppy on the left hand side. The red represents the blood of all those who gave their lives. The black represents the mourning of those who didn't have their loved ones return home. And the green leaf should be positioned at 11 o'clock to represent the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the time that world war one formally ended. He was worried that younger generations wouldn't understand this and his generation wouldn't be around for much longer to teach them.

"The Royal British Legion says ... 'There is no right or wrong way to wear a poppy. It is a matter of personal choice whether an individual chooses to wear a poppy and also how they choose to wear it. The best way to wear a poppy is to wear it with pride.' "

Crikey it's off already I see today. Can't we have one day, just one flaming, day where people are not picked on for innocuous posts? Where is the harm in this post? It's quite clear it was internet derived, so why the flipping drama all the time? Touch your breast? Innapropriate? It said he ASKED. Jesus Christ, whatever next? And it doesn't matter if it's true or not it just a harmless post.
