Talk of the toon…
Last month I had a local company come to me regarding a colleague who had worked for them for 10 years and who was leaving to move back to his home city of Newcastle in England. As a fanatical magpie supporter, they asked me to supply a Newcastle United Scarf, mounted but not framed. An odd request for a framer but they went on to say they would then take mount away to be signed by all his work colleagues then back to me to be framed. Arranging the scarf was one issue but they also asked me to arrange for a magpie logo to also be painted on the mount by a local artist. A real nice personal touch for the most personal of gifts. On being presented with his framed scarf apparently he “broke down in tears” so I would say another happy customer!
