Although the UK is experiencing water shortages at present – there appears to be plenty to spare in Manchester this morning – it’s absolutely pouring down!

Travelling to work this morning I spotted plenty of dark blue and black promotional umbrellas – I think to cheer everyone up people should have to carry brightly coloured umbrellas (pink ones!) (or at the very least they’d have to have brollys with a big bold bright print on them!) … or for a super jazzy option – promotional Union Jack umbrellas are now available!
