Yesterday (when fawlty posted) was special in another respect. The anniversary of the end of the first world war, in 1918..... The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. In England we wear poppies to symbolise the fields full of poppies that dominated the fields of France, where the murderous battles took place..... A reminder of the MILLIONS who were killed.
