HOW MANY OF you are currently suffering with extreme umbrella rage?
You’re not alone. And if you gave up and shoved your useless rain protector in a bin this morning, you’re even less alone.
Here are the stages of giving up on your umbrella…

Rage
You forgot it. Of course you did.

True Grit
Some people battle on, making the most of what they’ve got.
True rage
But sometimes, you just have to give in…
