Let’s talk about regret.
I’ve never regretted taking an umbrella.
I’ve regretted not taking an umbrella.
I’ve regretted loosing an umbrella, like I did a couple of weeks ago.
I don’t regret having a spare umbrella.
I don’t regret remembering where I bought those umbrellas, so I can buy them again.
@lmika clearly - not too few to mention 🤣
@JohnPhilpin The umbrella I have is that good. 😀
@lmika I know people here who don’t use umbies because Wellington winds destroy them - did you test?
@JohnPhilpin I don’t think it rained while I was in Wellington, so I didn’t give it a real test. Although these brollies do get a little damaged by the winds here in Melbourne, so I don’t think they would stand up to whatever Wellington will throw at them.
@lmika to riff on one of your fellow countrymen ..
‘call that wind? THAT’s wind’
Or using a slightly more modern parlance
WELLINGTON : ‘hold my beer’
