After reading the restaurants statement the former employee completely deserved to get sacked.

This threads gone from believing the guy who it happened to with what he said and now what the restaurant has said, it goes to show how mad online can be though

Just shows there's always two sides to a story, the restaurant's is a lot more believable.

The guy said he asked the management if they would object if he wore the Poppy Apron and he said they told him no. He says he asked if it contravened any Health & Safety issue and they said no but they feared it would offend the owner.

I wasn't there and so don't know who was telling the truth but as someone pointed out this is a minor issue and should have been sorted out by the supervisor. Wouldn't the sensible response to his request have been ''Its no skin off my nose mate you wear what you like as long as it doesn't breach any H&S rules. However, just to make sure can you let me have the apron in plenty of time so as to ensure its cleaned properly as per our house rules''

Job done, everyone's happy!

Well I don't know where you got that from as that's not what the evidence we have been given says. He asked if he could wear his own apron, they say ask management. He doesn't ask management and wears it anyway and walks out when told not to wear it. Nothing about offending owners at all, that part has just been imagined up by people on here because the owner is apparently Iranian.

I think Annis needs to send Carl to do exclusive interviews with both parties here and publish them on here. We will then perform a lie detector test to see whose telling the truth with Annis announcing the results.

This is where I got it from. Admittedly its a bit gibberish but this is what the guy said.

ou want the facts,here is the facts,I bought thay apron to to honour those lost in past conflicts,it wasn't ti glorify anything or provoke anything,it was to show my respect for friends who we have lost in conflict,for my grandfather who masterminded an escape from nazi concentration camp and my uncle who lost his friends and nearly lost his life several times,and for rhe other brothers and sisters lost in arms,the guys that gave there lives me people like me and your when they had no right to,what happened yesterday disrespected everything these brave people gave their lives for,I stand by what I belive weather right or wrong,if these small amount of people don't like us remembeing all the millions or soldiers and millions more civilians who paid rhe ultimate sacrafice,then theb that's nnot our issue, we are proud of out troops and should never forget what happened,I was told I wjll not wear that apron,why I asked? Don't break any health and safety laws?their response was simple,it may provoke an attack and it may offer rhe owner,if any 1 is going to get targeted it's thoses in the streets,not in a kitchen

I have no idea who was telling the truth; I wasn't there. However, for such a trivial matter don't you think it could have been sorted out quite easily and efficiently and without all this broohaha?

I stand corrected, apologies.

I agree but sharing it on facebook and this forum was always going to cause a stir.

Yes agree but it's been engrossing Poppygate, I love it! I wonder if the restaurant owner's name is Nixon
