came from all. not british. please explain. I was thinking poppy was like galoshes or something.
In November In the UK people where a poppy flower ,that they buy from the royal British legion. The money goes to looking after vets of ww1 and ww2.
so do people pin it on or something then?
The most common type is a paper poppy with a plastic stalk that sits in a buttonhole
thanks although my brain almost removed the ton from that last word.

Wait a minute...
well it is a thong.
Additional information: people get very annoyed if you're not wearing a poppy, especially people in public life who have to wear one about 2 weeks in advance of the actual armistice day.
