Umbrellas and Traffic Jams!

I sat in a traffic jam for 25 mins this morning and at the end of it there seemed to be no accident or blockage, no vast amount of traffic - nothing! I hate it when there is no reason - I expected at least an upturned custard truck or somthing!

I get to work finally and I'm given a huge logoed umbrella - I didn't ask for one ... and until they thrust it into my hands I knew nothing about it. Why we have them I don't know! Is there a flood of biblical proportions coming that only the senior management of UHSU know about? Are we all going golfing on some deranged team building exercise? Are we to use them upturned to receive our final instructions from the mothership? Or...Have we got so much spare cash at the mo that we need to buy all the staff a branded gift?
