They stopped selling poppies with pins because of health and safety. I mean comon surely we can trust someone with a pin in this day and age. You can get the stick on poppies in most shops in town.

blondejamtart Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I believe you can also get them from branches of the Royal British Legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen people wearing them and had also seen them online but was keen for my cash to go to charity as opposed to some dude selling a bunch of badges.

Ali-1874 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I ordered one of the wristbands this year because the only time when I can really wear a poppy is at work. Since they did away with the pins I have nowhere to put it. Those badges are a good idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loftyjambo Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Earl Haig shop at Canonmills have the new Saltire badge with the poppy overlaid on top for ?2 each. Bought 20 and they were snapped up in the office straight away. Looks great and makes sure the money goes straight to the charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official trays of poppies sent out with the collecting tins in Scotland, all have the green plastic stem AND a pin that you can use if you wish.

bighusref Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 I will wear one and also the badge that I bought which can be seen below: Whilst that is your choice, I like to try to disassociate wearing a poppy from being a Hearts fan.

Having looked at this site now (I was at work earlier) I am not sure that this IS a British Legion website. It seems to suggest that you are "supporting the British Legion" but does not suggest that the money goes to charity. I think that you may have just put ?9 in somebodies pocket instead of to the charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, all I done was put the saftey pin through my jacket in between the head of the poppy & the sticking out stem bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
