I witnessed 3 very well dressed army personnel clear their remembrance day fund raising supplies in double quick time. This happens every year but it is normally school kids doing the volunteer selling who take a couple of hours to sell down the stock for a good cause. This year however the higher profile image of rarely seen military personnel in full garb was obviously lifting fund raising to a new level.
Someone actually pushed in front of me to buy their poppy! Note to self: The product was the same but the presentation was different. I posted on the “different presentation” theme opening up new markets for business some time ago. See Transformers More Than Meets the Eye
