Sadly, only 10 per cent of the money made from theTower of London poppies will go to charity - the rest going in production costs and other overheads. Nevertheless, a wonderful sight and as the saying goes, 'every little helps'.
It's like the price of most things, the costs of transport, packaging, processing, admin etc are usually much higher than the cost of actually making the object and form a large proportion of the selling price - ask M&S

Hello all, thanks for all hugs and thoughts, luckily nothing to worry about, all clear, very thorough test, very technical & futuristic, got colour printouts too. Seems he is just so skinny they can hear far more noises and vibrations than normal. Nice to be reassured.
Bekkie, I have had same problem with stray cat and hedgehogs, shame.
Now back to the garden whilst it is nice, bit fresh though.

Didn't think the charities would get the whole £25, but 10% of that seems nothing at all, what a shame.

Reminds me of milk, the farmers don't get much of the price.
Hope Doc visit goes well with son DD. They found I had a heart murmur when I was pregnant, but it turned out to be harmless.
I'm helping with a church charity Quiz and Curry tonight in local village hall.
Sky is blue, sun is shining, but it was only 3° at 9am.
