Poppy Sellers

It is just amazing how many poppy sellers there were in Liverpool Street Station this morning.  Very beautiful blonde women in high heels and old ex soldiers outside every platform and at all the corners of the station and in every nook and cranny. I was struck by how many beautifully dressed city men stopped and chatted to the ex soldiers. They told me they had been given  coffee and snacks all morning.  One sad incident on Wednesday when a young man tried to snatch their takings. The commuters were after him and he was arrested by the police.
