          just bought a little folding camping stool in the hope that I can go to the pub and unfold it and put my feet on it & it'll be sufficiently legible that I have went to the effort of doing a weird thing & therefore must need to do it for some reason.

            (also it is reasonable to object to people putting their dirty feet where others will later sit) (also I can sit on it if I go for a walk and need to have a rest)
