What would your reaction be to someone who dressed up as Jimmy Savile for Halloween? Would wearing a poppy with the outfit make people think it was more for charity and not be so judgemental?
When we went guising I wore my dad's old coat tied at the waist with string, his bunnet and size 10 tackety boots. Didnae cost a penny but made me lots - my "party piece" was Tulips from Amsterdam or Birdies are Nesting. All these expensive costumes and "trick or treating" leave me cold.
