November 6, 20232 yr Popular Post Judging by the complaints in the UK regarding the new "plastic-free" poppies they probably all dissolved whilst being shipped 😞 "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
November 6, 20232 yr In Udon Thani, they are available at Big C on Nittayo Road at the flyover. Maybe they are doing this nationally?

November 6, 20232 yr Popular Post Forgive my ignorance, but what is a "poppy" ? Apart from the herbaceous plant with beautiful flowers that I already knew, I found the following definitions: - A girl who has a very bubbly personality and is very talkative. - A slang word give to older males in latino gangs as a sign of respect - Usually a very 'slaggy' girl who attracts men - A transgender gay male who loves oral sex I suppose that none of these definitions corresponds to what eezergood is looking for.....

"Can I wear a poppy in the US? In the United States, Americans don't typically wear poppies on November 11 (Veterans Day), which honors all living veterans. Instead, they wear the symbolic red flower on Memorial Day—the last Monday in May—to commemorate the sacrifice of so many men and women who have given their lives fighting for their country."

Obviously I searched with Google, but I didn't find anything that put me on the right path, in fact I found rather imaginative definitions. I think that Google works differently depending on the nationality, the language and the place from which it is consulted. I am sorry.

Sadly it is not as widely practiced as I believe it should be.
November 6, 20232 yr Popular Post Sadly poppy wearers are now being criticized incase they 'offend' a certain religion in our country. Two poppy wearers proudly wear their poppies and were verbally abused and the unruly mob tried to prevent them from catching their tube, didn't end well for one gob of the hate mob.

November 7, 20232 yr Contact 'Royal British Legion, Thailand Branch' There on Facebook and the Web. They will probably tell you where the outlets are.
November 7, 20232 yr Not surprisingly, no Remembrance Day poppies to be found on sale here in north Laos. So I colour-printed my own on stiff card :) (My t-shirt supports those fighting in Myanmar against the illegal junta).

From the title of just one word, could have meant anything. Maybe a bit of brain cramp crept in, to prevent a proper question.

TPointUK_426p_20231105_180256.mp4 I would be proud to wear a poppy if any instances required it, provided it was to pay homage to the fallen soldiers of the first and second world wars, but not the British army who were involved in atrocities under the old British Empire.

I don't want to turn this topic into a bickering fest, just remember those young men and many boys that died to give people like you free speech. This is about the first and second world war, have some respect!
