Charity for Remembrance Day

Thanks for putting up the code? in the code? whatever you did Jeremy, I really appreciate it.

I've just added a charity link for "IT for Soldiers", read about it here. This is in honour of Remembrance Day or Veteran's Day as it's called in the States.

I buy a poppy most days, one of the lovely charity events in England. This goes back to 1919, when Lloyd George left a bunch of red poppies beside the temporary Cenotaph on Whitehall. Or so the story goes. I always cry on Remembrance Sunday, the last post played while all those veterans look on, so touching.

This is in addition to collecting for the Royal National Institute for the Blind, please call or email me if you want any Christmas raffle tickets, plenty left and the deadline is 7 December.
