Hope we were all silent and will be wearing our poppies on Saturday.

 

My thoughts were ruined by some German guy here laughing away on his mobile phone. Cock.

Some people are so ignorant

 

We had our 2 mins silence

 

O:)

That actually reminds me of a not-all-that-interesting tale of how one Nov 11th, some of the top-dogs from the multi-national German company that I then worked for were over and we had to explain the silence to them. They were very good about it and, once it had been explained what it was all about, observed the silence along with us.

I have noticed a lack of people wearing a poppy here in London. I dont know if its because of the current war, ragging ignorant if it is, but I am sure more people had them on last year.

 

Also kids do not seem to be wearing them, it was almost part of the school uniform when I was at school.

 

Is it the same back home?

 

Off to the river later to watch the bombers drop the poppies on the Thames and buy a few of the old boys a drink.
