All that glitters ... is not gold

I CAN'T make my mind up about something I saw on TV at the weekend.

It wasn't anything to do with the Brand-Ross-Sachs-Baillie fiasco that interests me not a jot ... it was Saturday night's X-Factor and its judges.

Not one to be overly-opinionated, I couldn't decide whether the two female judges were being disrespectful to our fallen war heroes or not. Granted, all four judges wore the timely poppies but Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue wore them as blatant fashion accessories - Cheryl had turned hers into an overstated hair bobble while Dannii sported hers on her right wrist.

After having a mini discussion about this with colleagues in the office, I was told that the presenters on Strictly Come Dancing - It Takes Two had their bright red poignant emblems made into glitzy pieces of jewellery.

But that said, at least they were worn where they were always intended to be worn .... close to the heart.
