  Anyone know anywhere to get a decent quality umbrella? I left mine on the tube :(

  I've always wanted to go in this shop https://www.james-smith.co.uk/ but I reckon they'll be pretty bloody expensive. We can't do anything about you staying dry, but fancy a couple of tickets to the Church's May Day party? If so send us a message with your e-mail address, postcode and name (if different to what you display on FB) by tomorrow arvo and we'll organise to get them over to you :)

  Lesley P. asked:

  Greetings and salutations Ladies and Gents. I have aquired a victorian ladies umbrella which is in need of a new cover. I assume it is an umbrella as opposed to a parasol due to the cover being plain black. Can anyone reccomend a repair service ??

  Simon N. asked:

  What ho, chaps and chapesses I should like to crave a favour. Some months ago, I suffered a rather nasty stroke, and a dashed embuggerment it has proved; however, thanks to the rather excellent physiotherapy team at the Royal Derby, I am gradually getting back on the old pins. However, the walking stick I have to use is standard NHS issue, and whilst sturdy and functional, does tend to spoil the look of the Steampunk outfits I have put together. Can any of you wonderful people suggest where I can obtain a functional stick that has a slightly less NHS-y look? I do have a Victorian cane but it is not strong enough for the demands of my still-in-recovery gait!

  Ebay is good for Walking sticks. Also chemists, gift shops etc in touristy places, or places with a high elderlypopulation. If you are in London. http://www.james-smith.co.uk/ or http://www.foxumbrellas.com/.../company-history/thomas-fox

  Hi, I'm looking for Victorian shop setting. It might be a modern shop that has kept its period details. All suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Catherine
