Haha I've not owned a pair of wellies since I was a kid, so I'm sure you'll be fine without them xD

But Primark umbrellas are ****. :tongue: They may have pretty patterns but they break when it's only slightly windy!

I wasn't suggesting they buy them from people on the street, just that Primark isn't any good either. Boots have good umbrellas. :biggrin:
Depends on how heavy the rain is though, how far would you be willing to risk walking in the pouring rain? :colone:

I much prefer to feel snug in a nice big rain coat than have to carry an umbrella :wink:
