Because many umbrellas in Britain are an indispensable part of British life, they have become symbols of the traditional British way of life, and they are necessary for businessmen and officials in London. As a symbol of the British, John Niu is holding an umbrella in his hand. It is also indispensable in literary works and movies. The Umbrella Museum was established in Britain on 1969. Umbrellas also have many uses. Umbrellas are sometimes used as weapons. 1978, an exiled Bulgarian was stabbed by an assassin with an umbrella tip at Waterloo Bridge and died of poisoning. Some umbrella handles can be sprayed with pepper to prevent dogs from chasing and biting. Some umbrellas have lights on the handles for lighting and exploring the road.

There is a kind of tear umbrella in England. If you meet a gangster, you can press the umbrella handle and spray tear gas to drive him away. Umbrellas can also indicate people's luck. If you drop your umbrella, don't pick it up yourself, or bad luck will come. If you open an umbrella on a sunny day, it means you bring rain. Don't put an umbrella in the room or put it on the bed.
