Why is it that along with rain comes wind? Is it just me or does this make the umbrella the most impractical invention on the planet? I saw scores of people crossing tower bridge this morning fighting with the damn things, not keeping dry at all and running a high risk of being swept off into the Thames. And for those that don't have a metal pole with sharp spider legs connected with plastic bat wings there is the constant danger of having an eye gouged out by one of the hapless umbrella users!
I don't understand why people don't use water proof coats and hoods, is it because they are geeky in an untrendy way? Is it really that important to look good when all the people around you can't see where they're going because they are blinded by the wind, rain or some idiot with an umbrella? A decent storm in the city is enough to see the effects of the meteor storm in the Day of the Triffids!
I left the house before I saw it was raining, so I tucked my hair in y coat and pulled my hat down over my ears. I got to work a little soggy-I don't think it will kill me AND I had a better chance of dodging the brollys and thus arrived unskewered which I think is a little more important.
