Armistice Day

Is that because we promised ourselves this would never happen again?

 

11 o'clock mate - not eleven minutes past.

 

Im actually sick of it, and sick of the way we seem to getting more and more like America. I have always given more than a thought to the fallen, but it is really starting to grate on me now the way we are being directed and almost ordered to stop breathing at 11.am. I mean i wouldnt mind too much if the lessons were learned and we never sent troops abroad to fight anymore.....but nothing has changed.

 

Good point.

 

Don't really care about a bunch of dead Brit soldiers.

 

Who's directing you to do anything? If you don't want to participate in it, don't. It's easy to ignore.

 

But cares enough to post about not caring , this makes a lot of sense

 

Giving my opinion on the matter, is that ok?

 

Forgot about this.
Probably spent it banging on someones door to come get their parcel

 

Ah that makes sense now, taking the time to make your opinion known on a subject that you don't care about

 

What train station were you creeping about then ?

 

The hype. Its has become like * xmas. The build up, Armistice day, Remembrance day, the pressure on people to observe.....* supermarkets grinding to a halt etc...its ridiculous. It used to be a wee build up with poppys, and then remembrance day and that was it. Now.....its out of control. Tesco will be putting in an aisle of WW1 foodstuffs next.........in September!

 

Its getting harder to ignore every year.

 

I disagree. I think it's really easy to ignore.

 

If they said respect for those that died during the wars ok but when you get silence for our fallen heroes then that really grips my * .
