I thought you'd got over your big V addiction, Robbie!

The British army has done some very regrettable things in Ireland. Its just conjecture but I suspect this is the reason.

I agree with you on this one.

I have always worn a poppy but i know of various reasons people dont wear a poppy.

I've no idea what Irn Bru tastes like! 🙂

And I take your point! 🙂 Don't worry, all is sweetness and light! 🙂

Yes, true, there are reasons why people don't wear a poppy.

I think that somehow this year one is even more conscious than usual of things of the First World War. No question these days of sides. We're all too aware of the terrible losses and of the young lives of all nations involved that were cut down in their youth.

In my case, my father was in one of the most notorious of the battles, I won't name it here, and he was the only one of his friends who came back. The same will be true for all nations involved.

Although a long time ago, it's a time that brings many memories because of the effects it had in the participants and their families, down through the generations. So, feelings run high.
