Re: My Fox Umbrellas. Very UK
The Fox products are very nice, but I inevitably leave umbrellas behind in shops or on trains with an attrition rate of about one every eighteen months, so I wouldn't dare buy an expensive one. Ideal if you are a royal prince and you have a chappie who follows you around and carries the darn thing for you when it stops raining!

Dad had a Fox umbrella, very nice with a big heavy brass ball at the end, which somebody at a nice NYC restaurant happily appropriated. Not forgotten, stolen.

Re: My Fox Umbrellas. Very UK
Restaurants are the worst, especially the supposedly trendy ones. As if I'd let my princely Fox umbrella mingle with some plebs' nylon rain rags in some bucket at the door...

No one pays any attention to you when it's raining anyway.

Re: My Fox Umbrellas. Very UK
I like the brollies.
My view is pretty much the same as Woofsters, for pretty much the same reasons. However, some people just buy things for their own personal satisfaction, and don't care whether others notice it.
Self-indulgence and why not?
