Check out sporting stores for sales.  I just nabbed a brand new, adorable pink and white golf umbrella for £3!!!

Oh that's great - I got nabbed by the last rainfall and paid £15 at Boots just so my hair colour didn't run because there was no where close by to buy something cheaper. I also liked it during winter (they should actually continue it now seeing as it practically still IS winter!) when the Evening Standard was giving out free brolleys!
