This morning, Tuesday 13th November, there was an official poppy seller still selling them in Sainsbury's. What on earth is all that about? (I wanted to post something stronger but feared it would be removed)

It is a recycling point - people can return their poppies and the RBL use the opportunity to accept further donations.
Great idea.
diddlydo,
You don't actually buy a poppy, you make a donation to the RBL and if you wish you take a poppy. The "official poppy sellers", as you call them set up their stands before commemoration day to receive the money to boost the RBL's funds. Collecting goes on all year round because it is a charity.
Poppy Sales are the official fundraising for the Royal British Legion. Which supports victims of ALL wars and armed conflicts not just WW1 & WW2. Those injured in Iran and Afghanistan for example are helped.
Thank you Hc, I did try - never mind eh.
