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.

Can't wait for roaming fees on my oxygen consumption plan.

Is that dude a street scammer?

  • acts like a street scammer

  • puts up a web page about it

That's what "cheeky" means, right?

Literally lawn chairs

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.

Oh. That sounds like fun. Going round collapsing all the unoccupied chairs, that is.

Can you bring your own chair?
