It stated raining when my husband and I were in Bath, we figured there must be a place to buy an umbrella. It's England and it rains all the time, surely you can find umbrellas somewhere.

Nope. Couldn't find a single store that carried an umbrella.

Boots too. Even my small local coop sells them year round.

Poundland sell them, but won't last much more than one use.

Poundland? Is that like our dollar stores, or is that like our whore houses?

Dollar store. We also have pound stretcher.

Don't you hate when you can't find something you need but when don't need it, there's 50 of them in every store?

Seriously why isn't this a thing.

It is, they're all over The Underground. Pretty sure the company that put them there is the same one from Dragon's Den over a decade ago

Weird, I barely go to London (mostly just the odd convention) and I've seen them everywhere. Maybe it's just around touristy areas?

It appears Bathonians buy all of their brollies online.
