    I am at it again, I am now getting a fixation on how people are wearing their poppies -

    Gordon Brown - has the big petal at the bottom and the smaller one directly above. the stalk vertical and the green leaf pointing at an angle to his shoulder. the poppy is pristine with no scrunch marks on it.
    Is this the balanced way to wear a poppy or are we being fooled to believing he is balanced because of his poppy set up?

    Most people wear the stalk verticel, but what does it say about inward or outward poining stalks?

    are you one that wears the petalals left to right? do you have the big or little pettal facing your brest bone?

    are you a scruncher, do you have the big petal artistically crinckled over the small petal?

    does your leaf point up to your nose? - hummmm.what could this say about such a person???

    However you wear them - I wear mine with pride!

    Worn on the left breast. Vertical stalk. Large petal directly above the smaller one. Leaf at angle pointing to left shoulder. Isn't that how all respectful gentlemen wear them:scratch:

    Mrs JWK thought men wore them on the left and women on the right. But The Queen had a bunch of five on her left on the Remembrance Service on Sat, can't argue with her (Mrs JWK or The Queen :))
