I’m now reaching the end of my stint at the local supermarket… just three more days to go. As always, the generosity of the public has been truly overwhelming. Last week my stall collected £1,150 in just two days. Loads of notes fed into the tins, loads of people donating. Last Saturday the RBL replenished the stocks in Liverpool and sold 12,000 pin badges in that one day. A young Polish couple bought one of my wreaths this morning too. My grandchildren, Emily & Tom, popped in on their way home from school to get their poppies yesterday. And today my eldest daughter Michelle called in and spent a few hours helping me on the stall. Unlike the other charity, ‘Help For Heroes’, all monies collected by the Royal British Legion goes to help ALL former servicemen and their dependants in need, and not those who just served in Afghanistan. Remember that next time you donate.

Cheers,
Steve.
