I will repost what I said on facebook the other day.

"No I don't have a poppy, I have a poppy band thing and donated via my mobile. In previous years I've donated on my phone and got sent a poppy picture. I had the poppy app too.

But what I think is important is that I donated. Some people assume I just didn't bother because they can't see the standard paper one.

As long as the cause gets its worthwhile support I am happy."

I've had problems in my community for not wearing a visible one.
