Were you expecting them to be wearing daffodils?

Why do they wear poppies in October?

Farrandeelin · October 31, 2013, 11:00:40 PM

Is it earlier or later this year?

The problem is that TV stations and the like will associate themselves with the first half even though their revenue comes from both.

Don't pay your TV licence sure for 3 weeks or don't watch the news or X Factor or any of those type of shows.

Why people get worked up over this is beyond me, the price of fuel, oil, groceries and the price of a pint are more worrying I'd say that someone wearing a red flower on their shirts/coats

Seen a knitted one today.

The price of fuel, oil and so on with the same whether or not people are coat trailing on the TV. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Why do they need to wear them for more than the actual day, whenever that is. Begining to see them in England now. Always found them ugly yokes.

Sorry, but you do. I flew from Dublin airport on 18th October, and there was a large Christmas tree in the Departures area, just after you go through security
