A mother has revealed the perfect way to enjoy a little refreshment while battling through Storm Doris, by using an umbrella disguised as a hip flask.

Hayleigh Quinn, from Glasgow, was on the travelling on the train for a family night out when her mother pulled out what looked like an umbrella.

However, the 19-year-old daughter was stunned when it was nothing to with the impending storms but in fact a 'hip flask in disguise'.

She tweeted two pictures of the contraption, saying: 'F***ing howling, oot wi ma maw and she's brought her umbrella which is actually a hip flask in disguise.'

It's thought her mother bought the sneaky device from Amazon, with many Twitter users praising its ingenuity and asking where they can get themselves one.

Her tweet has since had over 7,500 likes, 1,200 retweets and countless more comments from amused users.
