It was not my suggestion as I was totally against it but a majority of Dee4life directors were favour despite not thinking things through.
You are correct that nobody wears a tie nowadays so purchasing a supply of exclusive Dee4life tie pins was in my opinion crazy but I was outvoted.
I told them that five years ago I won a Dundee FC tie pin in a quiz organised by Ally Donaldson at a Dundee FC Seniors Group meeting and it has lain unused in a drawer since then.
My point was that the exclusive Dee4life tie pins should be advertised for sale in the Dee4life monthly newsletter instead of eventually being written off in the accounts.
