I took this photo last year. A chair left on a little triangle of a traffic island near the local police station.

Cars were rushing past, oblivious of the empty chair. I wondered what it had been used for? Sitting, standing on to reach cupboards or an electric meter, decorating or painting the ceiling?

It looked fine so why abandon it? Had its ex owner got a new table and chairs or just disposed if this because it didn’t fit in with their new colour scheme regardless of whether it was still useful.

Maybe there needs to be a royal society for the prevention of cruelty to chairs?

Just saying.
