People in the rainiest town in Scotland are to be offered 鈥渞ain cheques鈥 from a special ATM in a bid to brighten the mood. Goodies including free pints, flight vouchers and 拢1,885 in cash will be up for grabs in Dumfries on Friday. Lager kings Tennent鈥檚 have been dropping 鈥渞ain cheques鈥 across Scotland and Northern Ireland this summer, lifting the mood in areas experiencing persistent rainfall. And it鈥檚 now the turn of Dumfries, which is set to see more than 11 days of rain in July and an average temperature of just 17 degrees 鈥 despite other parts of the UK basking in sunshine. The specific location of the 鈥渞ain cheques鈥 ATM will be revealed on Tennent鈥檚 Instagram and Facebook channels towards the end of the week 鈥 but those who attend will be sure to know this is what they came for. Senior Brand Manager for Tennent鈥檚, Joanne Motion, said:鈥淏raving the summer is practically a national sport. As a nation, we normally just have to get on with the fact we can experience four seasons in any one day – but last year was particularly bad.
