I have this theory that brollies, like gloves, are never owned, only rented. You pay the rent in a shop, take away the brolly and use it about twice, then leave it somewhere and someone else uses it for a bit... Meanwhile you find another one and use that...

Thank you to whoever picked it up from the Berk's Head.   I wonder who's got it now? (I suppose I owe them an apology, having maligned them over the umbrella. Or perhaps not!)
