Stand Under my Umbrella

Posting Date Posted on 23rd July 2007 at 21:33Tags Tagged under Clothing

Stand Under my UmbrellaYou couldn't make it up. Another British summer, another torrential downpour of rain. Mother nature seems to have taken a sudden vicious turn, throwing hail and violent lightning storms at us too. Apart from leaving the country the bad weather seems unavoidable, tomorrow is supposed to be our 'only' day of Summer. But you don't have to leave yourself exposed to the elements, John Lewis and Harrods have some great offers on the businessman's essential tool - the humble umbrella.

Widespread flooding, caravans floating downstream, the only people who seem to be benefitting from this recent spell of appauling weather seems to be the boat owners, who now have a brand new playground consisting of the most part of central and northern England. The bad weather's coming to get you, but is your old battered umbrella up to the job?

The idea of an umbrella is simple yet brilliant. A piece of coloured canvas stretched over a metal frame, a contraption that is able to be extended and contracted whilst painfully getting your finger caught in the catch. The umbrella stands above you as you go about your daily business, keeping you dry and retaining your hair-doo. It's an essential accessory for everyone, and if you need a new one, fortunately John Lewis and Harrods have the answer.

There is a wide variety of umbrellas to choose from at both stores, ranging in price from a pocket-money £10 all the way up to an eye-watering £100. So whether you're Jade Goody or the Queen, there's the umbrella to suit you. Lots of the umbrellas on offer have been professionally designed, and wouldn't look out of place in the Tate Modern. You can choose from subtle greens up to luminescent pinks and yellows, depending on your own style and sanity.

So don't delay, get your new umbrella from John Lewis or Harrods today! You could even sing along to the number one hit song by Rihanna whilst you buy it.

If you want an umbrella with some cute appeal. Try a Roxy Umbrella with spots that will turn heads. I got mine at www.surfdome.com
