On a related (not meant to be snarky) note: umbrellas. In the UK, they work? This is confusing (even 9 years on).
(i.e. the wind is not habitually so strong that there is no point carrying an umbrella or it will be blown inside out. This is what it was like when I was growing up in NZ, but I am gradually adjusting to "carry an umbrella EVERYWHERE!" and it works reasonably well)
