...it started to rain so I put up my umbrella.

I went into M&S and 50 Japanese tourists followed me in

Maybe try some new chat-up lines then taxi, see if that works.

This is worse than a quiz from that well known Bastard Kweeveen. Sad

IT could be two things. The clue to one is IT, get IT and you've got IT.
Hope that helps.

I know what Monsoon is, what's that got to do with M and S

I still don't get the joke.

you need a guided tour of London CMAT.

I'm confused now.

Monsoon was just a pun (it was raining).

To put the record straight: It didn't have to be M&S - it could have been anywhere.  When tourists (usually Japanese, in my experience) are doing the sights, the guide often leads them by holding an umbrella aloft.

They only follow furled umbrellas....not open umbrellas (flaw in the 'joke')

Would they follow a drunken ex Spurs defender? Or would they not follow a para Sol.

I would have sat here for another 10 years and not got that.

Same as everybody else except Coachbuster by the look of it.

That's why nobody explained it to me when I first asked, they didn't get it either, but pretended they did.

call me a taxi - it's a regular sight in central London these days  , however -

when i went on holiday in the mid 1980s i recall our bearded tour guide  led the way with a Pink umbrella  around Venice as not to get lost in the crowds - but can't say if it was a regular thing that long ago .

unless he started the trend Wink

There is one constant that never changes despite the congestion charge and Boris bikes.
Black bogeys from all the diesel soot.
