    A rain umbrella sounds more sensible alright or at a pinch a sunny sunshine umbrella .

    This thread kind of reminds me of a story about Patrick Kavanagh, it was commented about him its just as well he didn't live long enough to ruin his reputation.

    There is a fine line between eccentric and annoying crank.

    The rain, it raineth on the just,
    And also on the unjust fella,
    But mostly on the just, because
    The unjust hath the just's umbrella.
