Sir, - Citing, redcoats, gore, Robert Emmet, 1916, the GPO and the rest of it, Catherine Adams wants to know why she should wear a poppy.
The answer is, she shouldn't. With respect to Ms Adams (any relation?) poppies may be for the dead, but should preferably be worn by the living. - Yours, etc,
Pilot View,
Dalkey, Co. Dublin.
