they look really good on my black f2 and also on the wife's red Volvo V50. Common sense isn't very common.

Poppies grew on the Somme battlefield in the First World War. So many soldiers fell there, and it was adopted by Earl Haig, as a symbol that we will remember them by!

We all wear our poppies ' To remember the fallen', of the First World War, and all battles and wars since!

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM,. 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.

@mcsimmo. Thanks ! In the Netherlands we have veteransday, but thats mainly a remembrance by vetrerans
and their families. The strong link to national pride and support I see in Poppy Appeal, does not
excist here. I can think of some reasons. But that's far to politic to discuss here. Thanks guys !
