People who appear on TV seem to be wearing poppies very early this year
or is it my imagination? There are 19 days to go before the 11th day of
the 11th Month.
What is the protocol for this and who decides these matters. I usually
wear a red poppy during the week in which the 11th day falls in.

I noticed this. It always had been two weeks before Remembrance Sunday
but this year it appears to be three weeks. Don't remember any
announcement about this.
