Agree its dreadful. Where i live there are poppy sellers in the town centre, at entrances to supermarkets. Poppies have decorated lampposts for a few weeks now.
Visited Oxford yesterday- no sellers anywhere , barely any sign that it was coming up for remembrance Sunday or Nov 11th.
This wouldn't have been the case a few years back.
A relative that lives in another city has found the same and has had to order their poppy online.
