Friday's fun fact

Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal has officially started. The red poppy – a common sight on the Western Front – became a symbol of remembrance for those killed in the First World War and is now also worn as a tribute to those still serving.

Joke of the day:

A blind person walks into the bakery and asks for eight poppy seed breads. While the baker gathers them for him, he asks: are you expecting any visitors? No, replies the blind man. But I'm going on holiday, and they have such lovely stories written on them.
