The canoodling seats recently installed on Blacka have another odd feature about them. Staples have been driven into the surface. Why? There must be a good reason or is that expecting too much?
Staples are routinely used to prevent boots slipping on wooden steps etc.
Were the staples put on benches as a concession to more puritan voices - intended to discourage those canoodlers from getting too comfortable in such a public place? Or indeed, going quite the other way, an encouragement for those who prefer this kind of tactile addition to their relaxation?

What next on Blacka?

I don't know about staples on benches, but they certainly do help when climbing over styles when it's wet and muddy.
