There are literally lawn chairs in Hyde Park in London and if you sit in a dude rocks up and informs you that it costs like $2 per half hour to sit in it.
It used to be like that when I was a wee child in the Paris parks. They stopped it in the early '70s I think. I seem to remember that the fee was 50 centimes back then for 1/2 hour. I’ve no idea what the current equivalent would be.
So I looked up a random inflation calculator and it works out to 1€ today, taking into account the 684% of inflation.
Right? Like someone is going to put a chair or bench in a public space like a park. Ha! Call it a “park bench” or something… and let people sit on it for free?? Ludicrous! It’ll never happen! /s
That’ll be £1.00 for reading this response. Please advise where to send the invoice.
I’m my local park there are hammocks that the local government puts up each year.
Benches, hammocks, flowers, swings and a free open air gym is provided as part of the tax we pay to the city
I know that you are just a rightoid moron but I just want to make clear that having nice parks that people want to spend time in is not a new and weird concept.
No hammocks here but even in the small parks they put in one device to do a variety of excersises and in the larger ones there is like a circuit of various things. They are all static type things to help with calisthenics but are pretty neat.

Can’t wait for roaming fees on my oxygen consumption plan.
Is that dude a street scammer?
Nah, they even have a web site apparently: https://www.royalparks.org.uk/visit/parks/hyde-park/park-deck-chairs
acts like a street scammer
puts up a web page about it
That’s what “cheeky” means, right?

Oh. That sounds like fun. Going round collapsing all the unoccupied chairs, that is.
Can you bring your own chair?
What the fuck
There’s literally food in restaurants in London and if you eat it a dude rocks up and informs you it’s like £15 to eat it.
I’m not sure what you expect here. A charitable or government service to provide you with deck chairs for free?

I wasn’t going to vote at all, so I went ahead and put another one on to cover your second.

Thank you for your service.

Would you say you are, or are not familiar with the concept of public property?
well he is from london post brexit.
Yikes what a shithole
Free outdoor seating is extremely common though, it’s not that far fetched it could apply to deck chairs too
This is satire, right? Poe’s law is strong with this one.
The first half’s snark makes it seem serious, but the second half seems like sarcasm.
15? That’s it! Where is this good deal?
The only reasonable food while out and about was supermarket meal deals when I went to visit a few years back.
This must be the guy who charges for the chairs lol
Are you fucking for real
