I can get tears just thinking about them. Brilliant songs. The Men They Couldn't Hang do a great version of the Green Fields. One of the best anti war songs ever written 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Pedantry in the extreme, I know, but other than the pop-ups you now see with all sorts of "poppy merch", poppies were always given in exchange for a donation rather than being sold. So M&S have never "sold" poppies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So M&S have never "sold" poppies. I vaguely recall that there used to be a few old boys who would visit our primary school to “sell” poppies around this time of the year. If they had the ones with the green plastic stem they’d get avoided by most of us. If they had the metal pin, they’d get everyone’s tuck shop money and we’d spend the rest of the day screaming in agony as everyone ran about jagging each other with the pin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
