There's no excuse for not knowing or age there either - poppy's were on sale, posters were up, and most people were 30-40 and above

I was one of very few people who participated in the 2 minutes silence in the New College Lunch hall today - out of about 40 people

The white poppies are still around. It was seeing someone wearing one that made me ask where I could get one.
I'll cheer you up with my experience of yesterday. I was teaching my class of 30 Third Year pupils(14/15 years old) and told them I intended to mark a minute's silence just before the 11 o'clock bell rang to announce their breaktime. I then forgot until one of the pupils reminded me. We sat in silence for about 10 seconds then the bell rang. Normally this would signal a rush to pack away jotters and to get to the door, but instead no-one budged an inch and we all continued our silence with not a single pupil breaking it. I was really proud of them.

Noticed Tommy Sheridan and Rosie Kane wearing the white ones yesterday. I've never seen them though.
I would still say have a national/ international day of peace or war protest or whatever you want to call it, but let Remembrance Day be special for remembering those who have died in conflict.
