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 don't think it's official yet.
Just broadcasters just trying to get one-up on each other and making a
mockery of a serious occasion.
