    1. Glad it gave you a giggle 🙂

  1. Comfy and alone. A peaceful comfort. 🙂

    1. Not too peaceful – That’s the busy North Circular Road behind 😉 Thanks for popping by 🙂

  2. Haha…love it! What a great idea!

    1. Thanks Josette – one from the archives 🙂

    Funny. I love it 🙂

    1. Thanks – and yes, that really is frost on the cushion 🙂

  4. If this once comfortable chair stays in its current location for very long, it will become a comfortable home for small critters… mice, roaches, etc. Great pic!

    1. Hi Theresa – Thank you 🙂 It didn’t stay long, I think it was gone within a few days.

  5. maybe its the great escape lol from self storage sofa it hasnt made it lol aww bad joke good pic xxjen

  6. What some people won’t do to get hits on their blog! Seriously, best ‘comfort’ picture yet.

    1. LoL – I didn’t have a blog when I took this but that’s an interesting thought 😉 Thanks for the kind comment 🙂

  7. Reminds me of the “Executive” seating out at the old Plough Lane Stadium! 🙂

    1. Perhaps I should have dragged it up the A1000 to The Abrahams Stadium 😉 The officials and visitors seating is hard wooden benches! Always sad to see a famous old football ground or railway station disappear. Our near neighbours Hendon FC used to play at Claremont Road which is now in a bad state of disrepair awaiting redevelopment 😦 Thanks for popping by and commenting Patti 🙂

  8. Very good, but what a throwaway society we live in. Hope someone at least got a sit down!

    1. Thanks Gilly – I find the ‘dump it’ approach a bit annoying, especially as the council recycling place is less than 1/2 a mile from here. Anyway, Transport for London must have removed it on a night time maintenance run, it was gone a few days later.

  9. The soundtrack to go with Cold Comfort… Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb? 🙂

    1. Now that’s an idea 🙂

  10. Great Shot,Totaly murder sofa kidding:)

  11. nice framing…this reminds me of one of the latest episodes of The Big Bang Theory. looks so inviting, but could be biting! (smile)

    1. Thanks Yi-Ching Lin 🙂 I’ll have to check out that program!

  12. 😀 fantastic response, Martin!
    (I wouldn’t sit on it…..)

    1. Thanks Kate – No, you’d get a cold wet bum 😉

  13. Hey it’s not that bad – a little clean up, maybe a new cushion…

    BTW – thanks for subscribing to my blog. Glad to have you along.

    1. Np Donna, glad to follow the action.

      I bet the chair’s in a council depot somewhere now providing dozing accommodation for the workers 😉

  14. That is a vagabonds dream …. !!!!!
    Love it ….
    Isadora

    1. Funny you should mention vagabonds Isadora – there is a small camp made by a ‘Gentleman of the Road’ in a copse on the Glebelands not very far from here 🙂

  15. Yes that chair has most certainly seen
    some better days and evenings my friend 🙂

    Have a wicked Thursday now…

    LOL, too funny! Unfortunately, this is the kind of “comfort” this world often offers…
    Great photo–and story. 🙂

    1. Thanks Sheila, glad it gave you a laugh 🙂

  17. Makes you wonder how things just get there….

    1. It does… I don’t even know that it was left by someone passing on the A406 – it could equally have been dumped from a house on Pointalls Close. I just wish that people would dispose of things responsibly. Thanks for dropping in and commenting 🙂

  18. it’s nice to have a house …
    greetings by

    Weekly Photo Challenge: Comfort

    1. LoL – Yes it is 🙂

  19. What a strange place to find a lounge chair. That is a comment sight here in some of the public housing estate areas. If they don’t have a wrecked car on the front lawn it’s a lounge chait instead, or a car seat..

    1. LoL Tony – sounds like the Grange estate when I was a kid. It’s not so bad now though – in fact it’s quite tidy but they do have the occasional drug related killing instead 😦

      1. I think I’d rather the car wreck on the front lawn

      2. I’ve got a car wreck on my front concrete – oops, no it’s a Peugeot 😉 I agree Tony.

  20. After a long walk, assuming I don’t have a car, this chair would be a great, comfortable relief to my aching legs and feet. Wonderful subject that brings out comfort in a very interesting way. Have a great day!

    1. Thanks – it wouldn’t have been very comfortable – that’s frost on the seat 😉

  21. cheap and looks real comfortable!

  22. There’s something vaguely “King of the Hill” about this photo.

    1. I must admit that I don’t watch that program but from the trailers, I think I know where you’re coming from 🙂

  23. Great capture and find!!!

    1. It’s amazing what you find on a morning’s walk 😉

  24. I love coming across stuff that just seems strangely out of place!
    What a find (and capture), Martin!
    Wonderful!
    🙂

  25. The photo is effortlessly funny. BWAHAHAHA

    1. Thanks Rommel – It was such an unlikely place to find a chair that I just had to take it 🙂
