I'd guess that all ( lol) the GR staff have been co opted to manage the queries (not to say fallout) re FMPs 1939 register ;-)

I have just found, copied, uploaded and edited my webpage to include a photo of poppies in my scrolling images in 7 minutes flat!

Not rocket science is it?

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

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.

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"

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



so I guess we've been abandoned

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? :-(

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