We live in a country where the weather is not just something that happens it is a national obsession. The main part of this obsession is rain something that, sadly, occurs all too often on our island nation. In order to prevent us getting wet many years ago some bright spark came up with the umbrella – genius. However, the umbrella has become a monster with workers seemingly trying to compete one another for the largest and most unnecessary umbrella. To combat this phenomenon, which is certain to lead to people loosing eyes, the Government needs to take action to bring the unlicensed industry under control. We demand an end to the over-sized umbrella and a return to safe pavements for all!
