PERTH — A fictional umbrella rehab clinic says it has treated 412 inverted brollies since Wednesday, with most making a full recovery and a handful “never quite the same in a crosswind”.
“We don’t judge,” said a volunteer. “We just pop them back the right way and send them out again.” The unit’s motto: no spoke left behind.
The real story: Context: wet and windy week in Tayside.
