[Margaret Pilkington]

But is the poppy appeal business masquerading as charity?
Doesn't more of that money go to those it is supposed to help?
I just think it is a cynical advertising ploy.....Now whether that is just my anti cynicism pills wearing off, I'm not sure.
I don't drink beer, but I would give a donation if say there was a stall in the market hall that had a collection box and perhaps some information about the young men who lost their lives.....heaven knows that should be possible to organise.
