Re: umbrellas ?
I looked at those Fox umbrellas not too long ago and like them.

Re: umbrellas ?
The Fox umbrella shop in Moorgate is more of a Ralph Lauren outlet now.
At least Smith in New Oxford Street still has the quaint shop to visit.

With the big lucky horseshoe up on the wall which they point to when some tit tells them that it's unlucky to open an umbrella indoors. A proper London shop.
Bates on Jermyn Street was a real London shop too - is it still with us?

Re: umbrellas ?
Bates had a sign up near that stuffed cat of theirs which said 'Please do not try hats on "Just For Fun".'
Quite right too.
Makes me think of John Simons' sign one Summer past - "No drinking, no eating. No joking."
Proper shops are serious about what they do.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Re: umbrellas ?
I always liked the James Smith umbrellas. Is Brigg still in biz?

Re: umbrellas ?
All very nice Shooey. Unfortunately I leave about one umbrella a year on trains so I just stick to cheap ones,

Re: umbrellas ?
You only lose one umbrella per year? Pfft, I supply half the city with umbrellas.
