Poppys are for one day, NOT all year

How many of you have seen cars driving around with poppy's on when it is not November 11th (ish)?

I must see at least one a day (not including the one I drive past on my way to work, which is always parked up) and it annoys the hell out of me.

I think it is more insulting and disrespectful to the people of the World Wars, to display a poppy all year, rather than just not buying one at all. To have that poppy on your car all year is just lazy and shows that NO thought in going into the actual meaning behind the poppy. It just saves a bit of time each year to buy a poppy and put it on your car or whatever.

When November rolls up each year, I think about buying a poppy or pin badge and the reasons for buying that poppy.

The same thing now goes for these stupid red nose car stickers, that people are going to just leave on their cars. I can't wait until they take them off and find out how much car paint fades over a year or so, then they will look stupid!
