Mon Francais c’est pas bien parce-que je suis un cochon anglais. I have been taught to greet the French with this phrase, goes over well.

Being an English pig, I’m not supposed to know that. Just like they’re not supposed to know we call them hunkaloids. (don’t snitch)

Are people over there still stabbing themselves with poppies? Why not get badges and lapel badges.
On my coat I replace the subdued Union Flag velcro patch with a subdued Union Flag with a poppy on it.

our Poppies find their way onto automotive sunvisors, one can tell how long they’ve had their car by couting the poppies.

We tend not to put them on cars in the most part, but some police forces, etc... have a car for public gatherings.

I wasn’t sure how international the poppy tradition was. It comes from a war poem found with a dead Canadian soldier in Flanders. “In Flanders fields the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row....”

The poem was penned by a Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel McCrae in 1915, the poem inspired an American academic Moina Michael to make poppies out of silk and were brought to England by a French woman Anna Geurin and sold 9million poppies.
Every year at the Royal Albert Hall they drop a crepe paper poppy, representing every British Commonwealth soldier who died.
The poppy is a common thing for virtually every Commonwealth of Nations (the name now given for the British Commonwealth) country around the world.

I was unaware of it’s international origins. In Canada, anything remotely Canadian is upsold as being completely Canadian. Like how the avro arrow put man on the moon (sort of)
