View Full Version : Do you ever use a brolly?

Yes.... do you?

There's a stigma about men carrying brollies I think even though it's an incredibly British thing to do... so it's a simple question, do you carry one or not? I used a cheap Primark one for a while but I can't think where it is now... I think I will get a proper one though next winter when I have a job.

How about you? Girl or a boy and do you ever use one?

you're so funny I love the word brolly. I don't use one and don't see the need, if it rains I'll tend to just get wet and deal with it.

Yeah, I have a dome one so it doesn't go inside out when it's windy, it was £2 from Blackpool it's great :D. Rarely use it though, but it's in the boot of our car when we go out or on holiday as we spent many years forgetting about umbrellas.

Nope, it's all about the hood. Half the time I'm too lazy to put a coat on ;l

I have one in car for preparation at all times but for some reason I always forget about it. They're normally crud anyway and flick the other way which is so bloody annoying cus it gets windy as hell here.. So just depends on whether I think to. Honestly if it's raining it's unlikely I'm leaving hah unless I need to

Last time I used an umbrella it just folded inside out so I rarely bother now. There is a really nice one that I've had my eye on and that I would probably use but its £129... so yeah I think I'll just get wet.

No, only because Guernsey is far too windy to even try to use one. Though I want one from my work for the sake of it.

Wtf is an automatic one? lmao!

I don't use one but I've often been walking to college and thinking "I must buy an umbrella"

You press a button and it just flys open.

Took me a while to figure out what a brolly is lmao
No I don't. I don't really care if I get wet. It pretty much rains all the time up here so I'm used to it

Yes - past the age where it wasn't cool. I don't want my suit getting soaked :D

As the O.P say's there is a stigma about men carrying brolly's! Why on earth would any human want one anyway - most of the time they don't work or are lost (as I have found one the few occasions I have been forced to carry one)!!

In all honesty they cause more aggro than they are worth I think and only minimally save you from the rain - and if either a man or woman can't hack a bit of water 'til u get home ... well!!

My Mam told me when I was young I used to carry around one with ears and a face on it, even when it wasn't raining..

But Nope, now I never use them :P

I don't use one, I like the rain! I think umbrellas only look good with suits. Both girls and boys look equally as stupid with umbrellas unless they have the right style to pull it off.
