Why do people throw away their umbrellas?




Having walked through town, I've counted at least 10 sorry umbrellas sticking up from the wastebins. Has our consumer-buy-and-throw-away-society got the better of us? Could those thrown away umbrellas really not have been mended? I mended mine today. A needle, a bit of thread and 2 minutes was all I needed to fix it. Why spend another € 3 on a new umbrella if you can fix the old one? Just asking.
