Why do you say you must take an umbrella when you go out in Britain?

A beautiful umbrella can sweep away the haze and make the rainy day clear. When you arrive in England, you will find it necessary to bring an umbrella. Why?

The first is the weather. Britain is an island country, and the climate here is changeable. I don't know when it will rain. When there is no weather forecast, the only way to solve this problem is to take an umbrella. There is a weather forecast now, but it is not real-time. Even if it doesn't rain this hour, you can't leave without an umbrella. If it rains next hour, you can't leave! Is this awkward? So the only solution at this time is to take an umbrella, and it must be foolproof!

The second is the embodiment of gentlemanly demeanor. The old gentleman in "Intern" once said that the umbrella of the British gentleman is also to politely hold up a sunny day for the lady in the moment of heavy rain. This is the embodiment of gentlemanly manners, so one of the most important reasons why many men bring umbrellas is to give them to girls to show gentlemanly manners. Of course, it would be better if there could be further development. This is killing two birds with one stone. If not, it is also the embodiment of a gentleman!

The third is popular cultural customs. Since19th century, the image of a gentleman wearing a bowler hat and an umbrella has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. This image has always influenced the British people. Now, you will see such a person in the street. This may be a cultural custom! I hope this gentleman's custom will be passed down. Can we also learn to be gentlemen?

When will you be a gentleman?
