Hightower Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 After much searching I couldn't find a Poppy Appeal corner banner to use on our website, so I made my own. It's simple enough but thought I would post it here in case anyone wants to use it on their school website too. Cheers

Hightower Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 So am I breaking rules by using this?
plexer Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 No it was in jest, there was also something saying the leaf should point to 11 o'clock which yours doesn't. Ben
Hightower Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 Ok - so I'm safe (Was only trying to help)
Guest TheLibrarian Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Mine was an FYI post. I personally usually buy a poppy but don't wear it. There's too many people insist you wear one, and to be quite frank I don't like to be ordered to believe / follow / do by those sorts. Anyway, shouldn't the poppy community be going green and stop wasting plastic etc?
sippo Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 In this crazy society that we have today, I'm surprised no-one has been 'offended' by it.
localzuk Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Plenty of people find offence in the seeming obligation of wearing a poppy. I'm happy to donate to charities, I just don't like my choice being dictated by societal norms.
teejay Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 The poppy I wear is now about 5 years old, still donate every year but just don't see the point in getting a new poppy every time. Any other school had fun and games with the red poppy/white poppy debate?

Any other school had fun and games with the red poppy/white poppy debate? Don't you dare forget the purple poppy! But in answer to your question, no, we haven't had the debate here.
teejay Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 @TheLibrarian missed that one! Will mention that next year, by which time we'll probably also have the green poppy in rememberance of all the plants killed in wars lol.
Guest TheLibrarian Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 What colours should we have for insects?!?
