The Club shop merchandise

[The Artful Shrimper]

Whilst coming to work this morning I found solace in my Southend United golf brolley, purchased from the official shop I hasten to add. The weather being very blustery and driving rain would cause me no problems I thought to myself, knowing the club had sourced out the best merchandise it could. Like Marks and Spencers who tried out 30 different potatoes before deciding fluffy Maris Pipers were the best for use on their cottage pie.
I was no further than 50 yards from my house when the brolley blew inside out leaving me at the peril of the sheets of rain. as i stood there fighting the brolley much to the amusement of car drivers I felt like a parent in tiswas trapped in the gunge tank.
Soaked through.
The trains were all delayed too

I shall be sending uncle Ron a dry cleaning bill.

Haven't you got anything better to do like think up spoof sms text messages than defend the club?

It is a golf umbrella, therefore it should only be used for sinking crucial putts, not as a protection from the elements.

And my sodding trains were late too - curses on c2c.

I've just received an SMS from the club saying you shouldn't use your umbrella in blustery conditions. Didn't you get the message?

Artful, you weren't using this umbrella at a recent Manchester City Youth Academy match? My mate is City's academy physio and someone was watching the U18's with a Southend umbrella!
