Before she's sets off again overseas, I spent one last day with the tankard. We set off holding hands and headed through the market.
Once on London Bridge she asked for a portrait to be taken, a reminder of home for when she is away. It was rainy and a bit glum, but home is home.
On the way she also wanted to make her views clear to the banks, and let them know that as far she was concerned they've got a long way to go to make up for the way they've behaved in recent months. So we went down to RBS, and hung around for a bit. Then left, our point made.
Then it was time for the business of building brands.
As ever the tankard was an instant hit. Ronny (front of house) seemed chuffed to bits by her presence.
Emma genuinely seemed enchanted.
Doug E Fresh kept things formal, and waited for a proper introduction.
Katherine and Danny on the other hand played it cool, and simply involved the tankard in spreadsheets, and the usual nonsense of advertising.
Laura gave a little too much deference.
Sophie struck a pose we've never seen before.
Nic showed her his beard.
Simon wore her, sort of.
Matt didn't give a flying fuck about her.
Alex couldn't have been happier - they seemed to really hit it off.
Finally, before the day was out, I took her to see our MD, Neil (and the author of our blog). I introduced them, and soon Neil's natural extroverted personality came out and he hoisted her on to the top of his famously good hair.
Quite a day, and one the agency won't be forgetting in a hurry.
Before the day was out I said my own goodbye as she was handed over to someone new, for her next adventure to begin.
Goodbye friend, and take care out there.
