I'm not expecting them to add the poppy now.

Even the mother ship (FMP) doesn't have one.

There are responses on the GR page of FB " 11 hrs" ago (just checked).

Joy .....

that's not surprising as there have no new updates on FB since September 25, and I think no responses to posts since early October

I sent a message through GR about it but the message has not been opened. I posted on the wall of GR on facebook but had no response.

Not even a poppy on their e-mail advertising the 1939 register!!!
For goodness sake - you'd have though that would have reminded them :-|

Phlegm & determination will bring us through this forgetful situation.

Is it too early to mention now a certain Christian festive currently hurdling towards us from every direction? :-(

as I've just posted ..............

I looked at the FB page, and GR has not updated on there since September 25



so I guess we've been abandoned

You might like this Foggy, it is shared ( with a very nice poppy ;-) ) on an FB genealogy page I frequent.

"I am not a badge of honour,
I am not a racist smear,
I am not a fashion statement,
To be worn but once a year,
I am not glorification
Of conflict or of war.
I am not a paper ornament
A token,
I am more.
I am a loving memory,
Of a father or a son,
A permanent reminder
Of each and every one.
I'm paper or enamel
I'm old or shining new,
I'm a way of saying thank you,
To every one of you.
I am a simple poppy
A Reminder to you all,
That courage faith and honour,
Will stand where heroes fall.
Paul Hunter 2014"

Hello young Rose, lovely to see you as well :-)

Nice to see you Foggy :-)

I'm sure it's not that though, since Phil and Estelle were moved to FMP there doesn't seem to be the same level of interest in keeping the site going.

Perhaps they decided not to display the poppies so as not to upset other minorities as seems to be the thing nowadays. :-|
