    The RBL are also selling the middle sized one via eBay (thanks to a post on HUKD) there was some doubt as to the seller being legit, not sure why as they are the same price and I've searched the RBL website and managed to link it to the same seller ID through the poppy they auctioned that Sharon Osbourne wore! I've ordered one along with 1300 others!

    The link is here (hope it's ok to post)

    Still time to get one for Remembrance Sunday

    I hope so! I ordered a brooch on the 2/11/11 and it still says order "processing", no reply to online message and unable to get through on the phone. I'm wondering if I would have been better using the ebay outlet as that says delivered in 3-4 days.

    Mine still says processing and it was delivered three days ago! Never had a despatch email, it just arrived! And it is lovely!

    I ordered mine on 29th Oct and it still says processing. For anyone thats received one how long did it take? It seems a long time for it not even to have been dispatched.

    Well I'm afraid I can better that!! I ordered a kleshna friendship bracelet on 20 October and still not received it. I sent them an email at beginning of last week and 3 days later I got an email saying it should be delivered by today however still has not arrived. I've tried calling them as well but gave up after being on hold for over 20 minutes. Starting to give up hope now. I also ordered a lapel pin separately and it arrived within 4 days - both orders still say processing even though I've already got one of them.

    I bought this as I am always losing my poppy. Can have it on in the morning and its gone by teatime lol!

    Ordered the £10.20 buckley poppy. A bit disappointed that the fastening seems to be upside down ie to have the poppy facing up the right way you have to be a contortionist to fasten it and if not fastened properly will pop open. Plus one part of the fastening is a flimsy gold safety pin that has to support a heavy broach.

    For the money its not bad but I expected a better fastening and I'm still in danger of losing it. Will be treating myself to a better one next year.
