Poppy Day

Pet hate every year.. people wearing poppy's about a month before they are supposed to. Why? They are supposed to be worn on the 11th. November, not two weeks before Halloween! Wearing them that earlier erodes the meaning of them.

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries to remember the members of their armed forces who have died on duty since World War I. Armistice Day didn't happen in October.
