Depends if you use a brolly when you walk down the street when it rains, then you might use one when in the mog. - would say if you drive any distance in the rain a few strategically placed dusters help keep the drips off your legs, then it's a nice feeling when you emerge into the sunshine and the rain stops - and your trousers dry out - magic - pity you can't wear shorts in UK to work. Not same in Oz, or Cannes I guess, but then it doesn't rain much either Richard M800RGN+8
