What shape is your umbrella?
As you watch someone unfurl their umbrella, try and guess how long it will be until that protective dome is twisted into a modern art sculpture. If my observations are correct, the average “lifespan” of a parasol can be rated in hours, or the number of uses. A sad reflection on the industry, and a cry for a return to earlier times, when the umbrella could actually be repaired. Or so I’ve heard.
