Acceptable now, or not? From a personal point of view there's no way I'd go out and use one, but if enough people think it's now acceptable, I might start
I stand watching young un play rugby or footy with a big golfing brolly, but wouldn't walk fien street with one
Why would it be unacceptable? I don't use one, but I don't spit on men who do. Sent from my WAS-LX1A using Tapatalk
Depends upon the style of the brolly. Nowt wrong with a plain black one or perhaps a golf umbrella if you must.
I'd love to hear from someone who finds it unacceptable. Anyone? Please? I'll even try to keep a straight face when reading.
Ok, maybe 'acceptable' may have been the wrong word, but if you hadn't noticed, it was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. You just don't notice many blokes walking round with them. Never have. But you do see the odd ones. And all I think of is Steve McClaren.
Maybe because Its usually mainly girls / ladies who use umbrellas and not really considered manly for a bloke to use one. Especially a small typical lady sized one. Acceptable probably the wrong wording as I doubt anyone would bat an eye lid if the saw a bloke with a brolly but probably more of a macho thing. You don't see many blokes holding s brolly and I'm sure some would rather get wet then be seen doing so.
I've never used one in my entire life, if it's raining I just put some suitable clothing on. Or stop in.
