umbrellas their part in popular superstition!
One myth is that it’s unlucky to open an umbrella indoors. Some say this has origins in 18th century London, when umbrellas were awkward to open and putting one up in a cramped space was sure to injure someone. Perhaps we simply don’t want to imagine rain when we’re in a nice, cosy house!
Lots of people joke that taking an umbrella outside with you means it will be sunny. But if you don’t bring an umbrella, it will rain for sure – however cloudless the sky in the morning.
Even if it’s not true, we think it’s good to be prepared!
