According to the Mirror, character Gary Windass' comments about Ted Page's poppy could just spark a public outcry. He's going to be speculating about the cost of making the jacket lapel decorations and how much profit you could make on the side. As we know, these poppies mark the rememberence for fallen soldiers and the tradition began after World War I, owing to the fame of the poem In Flanders Fields. Now, the Mirror quotes a source who reckons Gary's words are "sick" but that seems a bit of an exaggeration. In my Corrie experience, any time something like this comes up, they're actually using it to inform people and if Ted is the bearer of the explanation, it will be handled with dignity and Gary will be put firmly in his place. As he should be. And Yay! That also means Ted will be back for a visit!
