taxman Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/11/british-legion-poppy-project-funding-application-rejected This seems a shame. A project to plant millions of poppies to commemorate WW1 has been denied funding. Sounds like a good idea to me and it would look beautiful as well.

Thats usually why topics on SF go the way they do. Too many people too quick to jump the gun before they have all the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
