Where can I buy a poppy from?

[feelap]

Where can I buy a poppy from? Is there a shop? Either the simple paper one or the pin badge one will be fine.

[pips1]

Are you serious? They are everywhere!!

[boxtops]

Loads of places - newsagent - high street, British Legion website....

[feelap]

Well I live & work in central London and I havent come across a shop/seller.......is there somewhere specific?

[boxtops]

No, there are trays in the shops, the RBL sellers will probably be out at the weekend too.

[JackDanielsU]

try your local newsagent...big supermarkets as well

[erin-x]

We even have them in Superdrug... nearly all shops have them. Around here anyway..

Sorry I didn't mean to be flippant, but I have seen SO many! They are on the counter in most pubs, clubs and shops.

I hope you are not planning on burning it.

That kind of thing is frowned upon here.

My husband is in the city too - and he hasn't seen them on sale there yet either.

I go to town shopping on Mondays and Fridays and I still haven't seen any poppies on sale and usually there is always someone selling them at the market entrance, so I haven't got mine yet! When I go to town on Friday, I'm going to have a good look round until I find a shop selling them.

Poppies are in shops etc from 29th October, street sellers from the 5th November.

paper ones all around up here..but where can I get the enamel brooch one?

[Lonnie]

The Poppy Organiser of you Local BL branch, but if you wait until the sellers are on the streets/ stations etc, if they haven't got them, they should be able to, or point you to a seller that
has.

Outside my local Morrisons this afternoon.

Lots of ways to add to funds here and some great ideas for gifts too, I found it was almost next day delivery too.

I bought some things from the Poppyshop last year as presents for other people for Christmas. They were all pleased with them - and my husband really likes his cufflinks, even though they're aren't his usual high quality ones. :o)

[naomi24]

*they aren't.

I have already bought 2 poppies and had to throw them both away. I'm wearing a new coat, which means I put it over chairs slightly differently than my old one, which means that I keep reclining on the poppies by accident (even when I try not to) and make them look horrible/mangled. I also managed to destroy my umbrella last week which means they keep getting rained on. I think I'm going to wait until a few days before the 11th before I get #3...

I bought mines weeks ago from the local Co-Op.
