Folding Umbrella

I'm sure that either the OP has bought a brolly by now or his mum's dog has died by now.....

I'm a big fan of capes

I walk a lot, basically everywhere I go in town and I also walked to work when I was allowed to go to the office so I use an umbrella a lot. I purchased a Fulton as suggested by someone in this thread and I am very happy. I had to order it online as I know nowhere that sells quality umbrellas and didn't realise such things existed. It is a revelation, so strong and sturdy and after about a year of use it is just like the day I bought it. The ones from Sports Direct or whatever just don't last and I used to re-enforce the broken spars with stiff wire. I consider it money well spent, I just wish I had chosen a slightly different model as I now realise I would have been better with one with a larger canopy.

Does N+1 apply to umbrellas?

but for my two-penneth, all umbrellas are a waste of time and money, all you need is flat cap, and if the weather is really bad, your big coat.

Knirps are quite good IIRC

It's not really a thread with answers that are going to have changed much since last year, so it didn't seem that bizarre. Some of the "current affairs" threads are older.

I'm sensing that you may be of a northern persuasion.
