The tale of a brolley.

It was raining pretty heavily so Ray decided to get an umbrella. In Primark of course.
There were 2 umbrellas up for sale. A £2.50 big one which is not compactible. And a £4.00 smaller one which is foldable and stuff and is practically small enough to carry in your bag.

Ray, being a Cina-man, decided to buy the £2.50 because not only is it cheaper, but it's bigger therefore the value of pounds per fabric would be less making it a "better" deal.

But, I pointed out to him that since it's not compactible, he might find it a hassle when he has to carry it around going into hospital and clinics and stuff. But he said, "Oh well, I would rather put the burden on something that doesn't require money, aka my own convenience."

So he bought the £2.50 umbrella and off we went into Riley's. Now, because it wasn't foldable, he had to leave it by the side.

When we finished and went off to Subway for dinner, as you would have guessed it already, he forgot the umbrella. And went he went back to Riley's to look for it, it was no longer there to be found.

And therefore paid £2.50 for shade from the rain for 5 minutes.

Now the point is, if he had bought the £4.00 more practical umbrella, he would have kept it in his bag and therefore not have lost it.
For if it rains tomorrow and he buys the similar umbrella, that would equal him paying £5.00 for one umbrella. But if he buys the £4.00 umbrella this time around, that would mean £6.50 for an umbrella!

Moral of the story is, if you want to save money and replace it with impracticality, then you better don't be forgetful.
