That is so true - have NEVER been hassled by poppy sellers. It's for people who gave their all so that we could have that right whether or not to donate to a charity.
Many of the rest are no more than aggressive beggars (especially those who go round the pubs) - while not saying we shouldn't give to charity I think people should look closely at how certain charities operate before making a decision to part with cash for them.
