Rain, rain, go away
With so much rain falling over the country, to devastating effect in many places unfortunately, the promotional umbrellas that Outsider receives from asset management firms are finally being put to good use.
While he won’t name and shame the particular companies, he has accumulated quite a supply over his time and there are some that are better than others. Maybe some would even class as vintage given the frequency that companies change their names and branding.
Good thing too, as if one blows inside out the minute he steps out the door, then he has plenty more to choose from.
For Outsider, he is partial to a decent neutral-coloured golf umbrella to accompany him on the golf course and to keep away from pedestrians in the street, thereby having the dual benefit of also being COVID-safe.
With winter on the horizon in a few months, Outsider wonders if the next promotional activity will be branded scarfs or blankets.
