has anyone else received a mailshot from them containing, amongs other things, a small wooden cross with a poppy attached to it?
i always buy a poppy and i support the help for heroes campaign, but i have to be honest and say i found this mailshot to be quite distasteful and have put it in the bin. what are your feelings about it?

[ethandron]

i have great admiration for you phil, as an ex serviceman, and i'm sure you will be standing proud on the day.
i will be buying my poppy as usual, observing the silence, and watching the parade with a lump in my throat.

Fair comment and thanks for your admiration, I mean that most sincerely.

My feelings are that I wouldn't have found it distasteful, at all.
