They never lost an umbrella.

Your Face

Earlier, I called into a small pub I haven't been in years.

It was always full of eccentrics, not characters, but people who lived their lives according to their own lights. Actors, workers, musicians, gamblers, poets, dodgy feckers etc.
There was an old stage where bands and sometimes plays were put on.
There were stories. Stories of things that happened.

Well now the seats are comfortable and the toilets are clean. The shelves are full of meaningless memorabilia of events that never happened. The pictures on the wall of people who were never there.
The bar staff all look interesting but they're just a haircut away from being boring.
Instead of individuals, it's a collection of people with a 'look'.
Of course times change and businesses need to make money.
I just wonder where all the eccentric people went.

Anyone remember the air umbrella... now that was a bad idea

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.

looksee

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.
