Time to think about Yomp

KINLOSS, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 22:  An officer...Image by Getty Images via DaylifeMy post on Postman Pat generated over 200 hits.  Perhaps it is time to develop a country person called Yomp and develop a character and friends who will start to help the urbanites to understand more about the joys of the country.

Today I was walking on the foothills of Fairfield when I met two groups of Air Force Cadets on a Duke of Edinburgh walk.  From Fife in Scotland they were so polite and charming to an old man struggling up the hills so different from the reception and grunt you get from the urbanites.

Later in the afternoon I met two of their leaders looking for the group and I was pleased to tell them that their wonderful young lads would already have reached Rydal Hall and have pitched their tents.  It looks like they will be lucky with the weather and enjoy a walk in the sun today.

So now I need to start thinking of a business plan to develop for Yomp and get into building a brand.

Urban Postman Pat

Vaca Margarida :)Image by Farruska via FlickrA bit of a rant: watching the TV, I was interested to learn that someone from the other side of the pond, no doubt vice-executive director, has “updated” Postman Pat to an urban modern character to cater for the tastes of the urban kids.  Why not “update” Postman Pat (if he needs updating) to help educate the urban kids about the ways of the country instead of reinforcing all the urban stereotypes?We can all see how the “luvvies” will update the 2012 Olympic Games to reflect their love of the urbanites.
