How do I secure a poppy to my clothing?

10/30/2007 10:24 AM

I have just purchased a poppy with a plastic stem instead of the usual pin.

Any suggestions as to how I secure it to my clothing?

An industrial nail gun, contact glue, a G clamp, or just hold it in position! If you are looking for a hi tech solution, may I also suggest gluing a small bit of metal on the back of the poppy and have a powerful electromagnet under your lapel! When the poppy is on the table with a suitable crowd presence, press the secret button in your pocket and watch in amazement as the poppy leaps from the table and adorns the lapel of your Sunday best!

Clearly you are wearing the wrong sort of clothing!

Don't tell me, there is a health and safety issue with the pin! There's me thinking that using a pin was a life skill. Grrrrrr!

I heard on the radio this morning that, it being All hallows eve, some one told them that they had handed out sweets to trick or treaters, only to have an irate parent bang on the door to complain that the sweets contained nuts!

Refund it on the basis that, having an inadequate method of securing it, it wasn't suitable for the purpose for which it was purchased <dons hard hat, goggles, toe protection, face visor and riggers' gloves>!

Super-glue it to your forehead? - I assume that's what we're both looking up at.
