Thread: Lack of Poppy Sellers?

loads of poppy sellers where i live and hardly anyone in town today not wearing one! :D

Were you cruising for turgid veiny treats?

how did i know you were going to respond with your usual childish comments??

now be quiet and let everyone go back to the original subject, theres a good boy.

Get off the bandwagon civvy.

oh dear how disappointing, your last comment was not quite up to your usual standard...

That's because it's true.

Bandwagon for one?

end of 'discussion'. i'm sure no one wants to read anymore of your (as stated before) childish comments.

It wasn't a discission. It was a statement.

Why aren't you a Poppy Collector if you are so worried?
And don 't give me crap about being too busy, that what they all say!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is bizarre, its a national event to remember.

how can some one say "they dont believe in it"

this is bordering on insanity

what do they teach at school, apart from selfishness

?

Not worried, just surprised. I haven't got one yet and will have to hunt around Islington tomorrow for a 'seller'. Anyway, I already do a lot of work for charity, I just don't like to talk about it....

Yes. I'm a lot harder than your average civvy...........................and I've done a sim 45..........at night.

mmmmmm but are you 60 plus, and can you take on the hoodies in anger.!!!!!! :D :D

Not even 40+ and I'd take on the hoodies with pleasure!

And the full weight of the law would smite thee with great vengeance. Would I sell them in certain areas? Would I fcuk. I'd rather do a sim45... at night. Erm... what's a sim45?

As stated on a couple of other threads about this matter, you should see Poppy People on the street from this weekend as local councils usually only allow one week for street collections. Councils have to licence all street collectors so whilst I initially moaned about the one week rule, there are only 365 days in a year and an awful lot of charities, so it's not so bad.

I think it has something to do with ill-fitting lightweights... :D

I agree that there don't appear to be many poppy sellers in central London. Saw 1 last week at Euston and that's it. But my local shopping mall has 5 areas where you can get a poppy, each staffed by old boys with their medals and berets on. Including one old chap with his 5 WWII medals sitting in a wheelchair as he's got no legs. As I said to my wife "THAT'S why I wear a poppy".
