Don't wear shorts

I'm guessing you wouldn't want to sit on this bench wearing shorts. The nettles are growing up around it and poking through the back; it could be a little painful. In fact, I'm not sure how many people would sit there anyway; it's by an old ford which has long since been closed to traffic and is now overgrown, and when they installed the bench a couple of years ago it was facing in the opposite direction to the only view worth looking at.

Maybe they were thinking about Health and Safety.
