Cyclone Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Nothing to do with poppies per se though, it was a restriction on how many organisations can chug at any one time in that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The restriction was only in place because Birmingham council limit the number of charities collecting at any one time. Still, no need to let the facts get in the way of a good rant, eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
