Subject: RE: BS: an umbrella thread
Got the dinosaur umbrella - kid's birthday coming up - thanks!

Edinburgh is a lousy place for umbrellas. At the north end of the North Bridge there is a bin which for a few days a year gets stuffed full of broken brollies from tourists who didn't fold them when crossing it. (In the first few years after the first bridge opened, the stone parapet was blown across the roadway: a few years after that the whole bridge blew down).
