scousemouse Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Flowersfade. I have done two sessions of selling poppies, in Sheffield. The bands I mentioned have sold well. If you haven't seem in 'the smoke' I reckon if you got in touch with the British Legion they would send you one for the price of a donation!

denlin Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Why would you need another one, youve donated and that's all that matters. You've lost poppy, so what? Why would they give you a freebie because you're careless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they give you a freebie because you're careless? Because the cost of them is negligible. Presumably the point of the poppy itself is to demonstrate that you care about the cause, you're not purchasing one, you're wearing it to indicate that you've made a donation.

You are absolutely right and I, like you, wear a poppy to let others know that I have donated to charidee which makes us appear to be really good people. Doesn't it?

Minimo Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I donated on Friday, but am not displaying the poppy. To be honest, they are too much trouble to try and pin on my coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Gobby Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Actually I've lost two. First I through away the empty plastic bag after emptying the shopping but apparently left in the two poppies my other half had picked up. Then I replaced it in the train station yesterday and lost it on the tram on the way home! Can I just get another one without putting more money in the pot? What's the etiquette? Hell, i did'nt think anyone could be that tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the cost is negligible it's more reason to pay for your replacement, not less. A mark of respect for the cause and respect for the well-managed campaign. You can spare one pound, I'm sure.
