They say that you can tell a lot about someone by their shoes. For a start you ca tell if they can afford to buy a pair. But I reckon you can tell a lot by their umbrella. Aside from that you can tell how conscientious someone is by how many eyeballs they have skewered on the ends of the prongs the appearance and make etc can say something. For example I saw one woman today with what looked to be a normal black umbrella but on one panel had Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. To me this shows someone conforming to a grown up world but with a definite inner kid. Another had a umbrella perfectly matched to her outfit which suggests someone very fashion and appearance conscious. Bright colours and spirals suggest a want to be different. Extremely large storm umbrellas perhaps suggest someone wanting to show people how important they are (or perhaps are compensating for other areas). None of this may be true but it's what it suggests to me of the people I pass in the busy streets of London, I like to wonder about people I pass.
My umbrella is a little one that pings open at the touch of a button. Which possibly suggests practicality, an inner kid and a love of gadgets... but may suggest something else to you.
But anyway with this in mind, if you were to go out and buy an umbrella tomorrow (something some of you have no need for I know) what would you buy and why?
