Just had to grab an umbrella from the car as it rained while we were out without coats. Found it had a broken rib. So went looking for a relacement when I got in and realised that in this house we have seven small umbrellas plus a couple of golf umbrellas.

none :-(

Robin Lol!!!! You don't mind getting wet then?

Think there are three small ones in the car plus John's golf ones but have to admit to cannot remember the last time I used one .
Did take one with me on last trip to UK but left it in case and got soaked walking around Lingfield lol

No im used to standing at bus stops getting wet through or out doing family tree stuff when it normally pours down :-)

none, :-( mam bought me a posh one but i left it at my friends 2 yr ago, never to be seen again haha,

lilman has 3, bob the builder, winnie the pooh, and toys story, so if need be i grab his pooh bear one :-P

Lets see>>>>>>>>>>>>>> black. red, navy, brown, golf one in car boot, another in the shed,
Six !

With all those I have I have to admit to only probably using them very occasionally. Usually if caught out without a coat when travelling from town on the bus. Or just to get from car to door.

Having said that a couple of years ago in August (I think it was) there was a meet in Swansea and we were in a hotel at the top of the town, the the meet was down in the harbour.. Halfway down it started to bucket down and didn't stop all afternoon. Fortunately we happened to have two folding umbrellas with us because we had decided to walk down to the meet place otherwise we'd have been drenched.

None. I don't see the point in fighting to stop them blowing inside out.

I have a lifelong loathing of umbrellas. Therefore I have several as family and friends think I don't have one so give them as birthday/christmas gifts :-( :-(

For goodness sake....how much is a brolly? I'd buy myself one if I wanted one - which I don't :-D


I do find something quite poignant about dead ones in bins and shop doorways after a downpour though :-D

Six, Two folding ones,to ordinary and two large Golf Type ones,Three are in the car and three in the stand indoors.**M ;-).Mind I expect "Island has a fear of them in case she goes into her "Mary Poppins" role. :-S.**M**.

What? No brolly in the potting shed Merlin? :-) :-D :-0 :-D

No Its got a roof, but anyway I,d put the potty on my head, would,nt blow away. ;-). **M**. :-P

hubby and i have 2 each ,one in car ,one indoors .

None here either, can't stand them

One in the car and one in the house and I think a broken one somewhere.

It would have to be raining cats and dogs before I would use one. Cant seemto keep the umbrella up and myself at the same time.

But i never use them :-)

Not much point in having an umbrella if your shoes leak.

Very true Dermot, very true.

One ( pale blue)that I haven't used yet has a torch in the handle. There is one in my handbag,( yellow spots on black, Marie Curie ) - only put there recently since I haven't been wearing any sort of coat.
There are at least 2 black and 2 navy umbrellas around.
2 huge dark green golfing style ones were given free at a Samaritans event in London some years ago, then there is the red and white MR 2 golf one around too.

There are probably a few more. Daughter has at least 2 here I think.
