WHATEVER has happened to the good old deckchair?
As I am getting on a bit now, I am finding it difficult to carry these new sun loungers.
They are so heavy and cumbersome.
Remembering all the relaxing hours spent on the beach at Blackpool in a deckchair, I thought I will buy one as they are so comfortable and easy to store.
So I looked in all the catalogues -- no joy there.
I rang the garden centres. One man told me they are in fashion now but, no, they didn't have any. I rang the DIY stores.
One of them said, yes, they had some, but when I got there, they were directors chairs.
I was very surprised at this as I thought everyone knew what a deckchair was.
So, please, is there anyone out there who knows where I can purchase the simple deckchair?
