I know people from Seattle don’t use umbrellas. A native told me that you can tell who are tourist because they carry umbrellas. She was upset with her sister I law who not being the northwest insisted on carring one making people think she was a tourist. I wonder if people in London do. I know they wear rain coats. I have a London Fog rain coat. Umbrella is an odd word. People used umbrellas in old movies based in London because it was also a gun or other weapon. Why don’t they call it a fog coat? Maybe that’s some call them trench coats. Well enough of this foolishness, back to solving all the worlds problems.

People in Seattle should take to using bumbershoots instead. I understand they're a great alternative to an umbrella and possesses the same functionality...

Recommend you avoid both umbrellas and bumbershoots manufactured by Sirius Cybernetics..

The UK has fog that can be felt, almost like a sentient creature.
Man eating fog, I’ve called it.

Ah, it is that time of year again.
The Fog Collective begins its yearly assault on the follies of mans endeavours...

The Umbrella had faded in populatity in recent years ,but is making a comeback.
A tourist from sunny climes is always easily detectied on a rainy day, due to the lack of a ‘Brolly’ or suitable Rain coat.
Another hot tip for all ...Americans in particular...Don’t wear White Coloured Trainers/Sneakers/Pumps, they make you stand out to the resident ‘amish’.

The Queen uses an umbrella. In fact she holds it all by herself.

And I'm almost certain she is keen to the whole Sirius Cybernetics thing, and avoids them.

And bumbershoots.

You're turning into a penguin. Stop it.
