Park Bouncer Busts Us

The deck chairs scattered about St. James’s Park were just too irresistible on Sunday afternoon. We’d been on our feet for hours, wandering through London’s Chelsea district, through the Victoria and Albert Museum and making a quick pass by Buckingham Palace. We scanned the perimeter of the park for an empty bench…with no luck. The chairs looked far more comfortable but there was a catch.

We hoped we could sneak a few free minutes of R & R before being discovered.

No such luck. The eagle-eyed Park Bouncer spotted us immediately and made a beeline over to collect his deck chair cover charge.

Reg displays our £3.60 entrance fee and we settle in to soak up some sun.
ThIs young man was quickly spotted and, unwilling to pay the price, was sent packing.

    Imagine trying to sneak a few minutes on the deckchairs, especially after all that walking you have done !! You should have checked behind the trees for the park ranger. However London is a great place to visit. Did you go Westminster and see the Brexit protesters ??

  2. You can never get away with unpaid deckchair time on a beach or in a park. Impossible.
