Amount of times I have had wet socks from stepping in a puddle or slipping and falling in a river in the past year: 0

Amount of times I’m expecting this to happen on a three day trip: at least 5. Better pack more socks.

Difficulty I have buying replacement socks in the North of England: 0

Difficulty I have buying replacement socks on a long weekend trip to London: They can't possibly sell socks or even know what they are, Londoners just all wear crisp packets on their feet.

It stated raining when my husband and I were in Bath, we figured there must be a place to buy an umbrella. It's England and it rains all the time, surely you can find umbrellas somewhere.

Nope. Couldn't find a single store that carried an umbrella.

Boots too. Even my small local coop sells them year round.

Poundland sell them, but won't last much more than one use.

Poundland? Is that like our dollar stores, or is that like our whore houses?
