To buy a paper parasol?

[Hagothehills]

One of the Asian style ones, bamboo and paper contraptions.

I'm very pale and burn to a crisp even with factor 50 on.

I've seen a couple on Amazon that are really beautiful but I don't know if I'd feel like a bit of a twonk walking around with one.

I like this one www.amazon.co.uk/Blossom-Pattern-Oriental-Umbrella-Parasol/dp/B00GMYGPQG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_60_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41rtVyJ3PuL&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL160_SR160%2C160&refRID=H8G1K1SQ68541XX13N47

Sorry on my kindle, don't know how to do proper links

What is unreasonable about this?

Can you not make simple decisions?

Just bloody buy won and if you feel like a twonk stop using it.

No they're great! You can get UV resistant parasols too, which are great for those of us who prefer to be pale and interesting!

I have one because I have a quiff and a hat flattens it. I don't think I look a twonk. I do think people who've got burnt over the weekend are twonks though. They looked bloody uncomfortable this morning.

I saw someone at a farm yesterday with a proper parasol - I'd be delighted if they came back into fashion as I, like you am vey pale. So I say do it!

I carry a paper fan everywhere with me. People initially think I'm a twonk when I bring it out but half an hour later, it's ME who is laughing. Hahahahaha as they sweat and complain. I think the same is true of a parasol.

DD has one already but she's 5 and can get away with it.

How weird squid I saw someone at a farm yesterday with one as well

MrsTerryPratchett I have one of those too and I bloody love it! Doesn't stop the sun burn though hence considering a parasol :)

I have two. I can't stand wearing hats anyway and they make your head sweaty on hot days. I love being different and when people say "I like your umbrella" I say thanks then quickly correct them.

Oh the joy of being stuck on a baking hot underground and realising you've got a fan in your bag. You feel more proud of yourself than if you'd casually split an atom using a spoon. Or I do at least.

Get the parasol OP. You can channel your inner Edwardian lady.They're all the rage in Asia.

I've just got a cream umbrella with a bird print on that I take on holiday for sun or rain. I'd use it in the UK if I was standing for a bus in full sun etc

rummages in mary poppins size bag... yep its there

I guess that's a pretty resounding yes to the parasol then!

The question now is which one...
