Distributing wide brimmed hats to other guests, it was quickly noted many of them featured model Dragonfly&#8217;s as shown below. When a guest witnessed a Bumble Bee promptly change course, it was confirmation the insect world choose to avoid predatory dragonfly&#8217;s as their life literally depends on it. This personal foible came about, due to severe personal adverse reactions to horsefly bites and the discovery there&#8217;s no repellent made for horsefly&#8217;s. A dragonfly mounted on a hat both confirms any suspicion the wearer may be a bit of a nutter, along with successfully deterring many stinging and biting creatures from approaching. The dragonfly thing is a little known Chinese solution to this problem.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, a personal preference would be to use a chemical spray to deter nasty insects but, despite McBride Plc&#8217;s comprehensive range of products, they don&#8217;t do any miracle repellents. But their fly sprays are excellent, justifying any belief supermarket &#8220;own brand&#8221; products are as good as conventional brand name items! But no-one makes horsefly (called Clegs in Scotland) repellent.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured below, my favourite all weather hat against the backdrop of McBride&#8217;s website homepage. As a brief anecdote, it&#8217;s often said the only people who can wear hats are either musicians or live in the countryside. Visiting Glasgow on Saturday, the default was to be welcomed as a tourist, suggesting my transit from being a city dweller to country bumkin has been a success. Better still, every time I spoke, there was the vague hope any assumptions would change, folk thinking I was a real musician&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trendsandtargets.com\/img\/mcb200525a.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial;\">McBrides reached and exceeded our prior target levels from a year ago. For a while, we suspected things may be about to go horribly wrong, despite the price moving from the 75p level to our absurd sounding 150p. We don&#8217;t often promote &#8220;double your money&#8221; scenario and for a while, it felt like the 150p level shall be a big deal.\u00a0 Some hesitation has certainly established itself, not a surprise with such a strong target. The share price reversed to the trend break level of 132p, even closing slightly below it at 130p. We&#8217;re not convinced this will prove to be a real catastrophe, the market double bottoming the share price as if underlining &#8220;this was an error&#8221;. In summary, since achieving our 150p level, the price has been all over the place but we&#8217;re inclined toward future optimism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial;\">Now above 160p should prove important, calculating as capable of pushing movement to an initial 176p with our secondary, if beaten, coming in at 191p. In fact, overall it feels like a distant 250p could be exerting an influence. We&#8217;re fairly confident about our 191p target but less so about a future 250p, an ambition which would match the share price high of 2010&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial;\">In summary, we suspect this shall prove worth watching again but this time, we&#8217;ve no hope of the price once again doubling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;
