Sorry a bit early but I think one of these would make a nice pressie particularly if there any older family members sitting in front of the fire

Have mine on order thanks, not specifically for older people. Mine is order no 2242 so one of the first in the grand scheme.

I did think about it, but at £25 each, they SHOULD raise just over £22m.

Yet only £15m is going to the British Legion....so someone is skimming nearly £8m off.....

I'd rather send the BL £25 .

Rip-off Britain...same as it ever was.

Martin2005

Yeah because they are free to make, parcel, post and administer.

Another great bit of Alcazar thinking

And when did 22-8=15?

Whinging old git.

Chip

Nice thought David

Mis-type...£7m...so one third of what is made taken as profit.

And £8 each to make? Fek me I can get two decorated mugs for that, shipped to me.

Youse lot are the usual apologists........

Martin2005

£8 profit LOL, that means they must just materialise some how, then deliver themselves.

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

OK, mastermind.......I'll bite.

Delivery? Around £3 signed for, Special.

Making them? Well if I can buy a decorated mug with a photo/design of MY choosing printed on, then glazed over for £4.95 DELIVERED, I reckon a ceramic poppy costs maybe half that....delivered.

Evidence otherwise? Or is this another "No it isn't, No it won't, No it doesn't, squawk..." post? LOL

You can email or ring Paul Cummins (the designer and manufacturer) hello@paulcumminsceramics.com
or 01332 349369

You can also contact The Tower of London Remember team on 0303 770 1914.

You should be able to get facts & figures from them

Let us know what you find out

pflowers

So £25 less vat = £20.83
Postage £3.00
Design and Production £2.00
BL £15

Profit = 83p - roughly 3.3% doesn't sound like profiteering to me...

The poppy remembers a young lad who took a bullet for you.

I am sure that he wouldn't give a flying f,uck if someone made a couple of bob.

I am more than happy to spend 25 quid on one. A signed for medium parcel is £6.75 btw.

Missed them ....... dont moan about the profit now. Wait until they start turning up on ebay !

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

Whatever..I'd rather gift BL £25.
NOTHING for George Osborne, NOTHING for Royal Fail, no profit for anyone.

iTrader: (2)

As usual YOU have nowt...LOL

Martin2005

Apart from all the details you'll ever need to validate your claim

alcazar

iTrader: (2)

And as usual, you fudge it...if you want to counter my claim, do so...don't expect me to do it for you.

"Each hand-made poppy planted in the moat will be available to purchase for £25.00 (+p&p) and 10% from each poppy, plus all net proceeds will be shared equally amongst six service charities."

Am I missing something as I am sure it say they are £25.00 each +P&P with 10% (or £2.50) being shared between 6 charities. Or are we reading from different pages?
