Katie's Hand a Metaphor for The United Kingdom of Great Britain andNorthern Ireland

I had a three hour wait at SECC the other day, which was alleviated by a really cheerful ClydeSider from Transport - Katie. At first I thought she was collecting for charity!  She had a box and some papers in her hands. Rather than asking for stuff Katie  was giving stuff away:  a tube of sweets; a copy of the Workforce World, the daily newspaper for the workers and ClydeSide Bingo card in summary something to eat, something to read and something to play. All made the wait a little easier!

The gifts were a very welcome sight but it was her painted finger nails that really caught my eye. Her fingers nails were painted in the colours of the flags of the four home countries at The Games viz. , in alphabetical order, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales.

In Katie's hands we've a lovely metaphor how much better we are united as one hand, rather than divided!
