Brett,
You did not give us your thoughts on the poppy that has been added!

Guys

Guilty, as charged!

I've just worked out how we got to this point, it is because Brian used the word "recovered" and provoked me to respond!
Kind regards Frank

No sambar here, plenty of reds though!

Today is 'Poppy Day' in South Africa, when the S A Legion sells buttonhole poppies to raise funds. I have kept my poppies from the past few years in case the custom ceases and I am left 'undressed' on this very important day. I had no need to be concerned this year, since there was a S A Legion collector in the Kloof Mall, although, sadly, she was doing little business and there were very few shoppers sporting poppies. Inexcusable really, since in this town the vast majority of inhabitants are the descendents of Colonists.

Morning Brett,

I was intrigued to hear that Saturday is poppy day in SA. Has it always been so?

Best wishes

David, Brett,
It has always been 11th of the 11th in OZ and the poppy is popular. The lady friend and one of her neighbours was up selling poppies at the local shopping centre and they moved hundreds of the things. However, most buyers slipped them in their pockets!
Regards
IL.
