Can anyone help me out? We're having a fancy dress pub crawl to celebrate our 40th's (mine 01/10 OH 11/10) Need to finish my outfit off with a parasol. Pub crawl is on 8th Oct.

If you can help PM me and I'll give you the address.

Cheers Crash

Crash, We have a battered chinese parasol that one of our neighbours brought us back from Hong Kong many years ago.  It has a bit of a tear which you can probably see which could be repaired. Is this the sort of thing you are after?  See below pic. busy_lizzie

Crash, will get if off on Monday.  That should be enough time for the 8th.  Your'e welcome to keep it, -  it needs a good dusting but I hope it will complete your outfit.  You must post some pics so we can see what you look like. Great idea for fancy dress. Have a marvelous time and a lovely birthday. Have received your address from my pm facility.  all the best, busy_lizzie
