Ananova:

Customers at a cliff-top hotel are being given umbrella hats when they go outside for a smoke.

Owner Chaz Charlton, 41, came up with the idea after she was refused permission for a smoking shelter.

Planning chiefs feared it would get blown away by sea gales, reports The Sun.

Instead guests at the Clifton Hotel in Portland, Dorset, now get some protection from the elements if they wear the wacky headgear.

Chaz said: "The hats have been very popular because of the torrential rain we've been having."
