Approximately 60p per head seems a modest achievement, although there are at least 10 million children within that 58 million population.  Leave them to one side and it's not far off £1 a head, which is not bad considering that not every adult sports a poppy.   

(Is 'modest achievement' an oxymoron?  Hope not, or I'll get thrown out   :o  )
             And a lot of them wont have a clue what poppy day is .

Watching the Remembrance Parade today when the commentator said that the Poppy Appeal is expecting to raise £40,000,000 with this year's campaign.

Sounds brilliant until you realise the population of this country is around 58,000,000.

Less than £1 per person - about the price of a Mars bar in my local filling station!
