I hope a little bit of self-promotion is allowed?

My wife and I run "Open Benches" which is a crowdsourced collection of memorial benches. We've got about 25,000 in the UK!

If you're out for a walk in the sunshine this weekend, please take a photo of any memorial benches you see. You'll need to turn on location tagging on your phone's camera - that way we can accurately place the benches on the map.

Enjoy!

On a slightly similar though perhaps less useful note, a colleague of mine runs https://govbins.uk, collecting pictures of council bins, so maybe take a photo of your bins too while you’re out doing benches. I love British whimsy projects.

Ooh ours is already on here. I don't understand the purpose of it but am somehow very glad it exists.
