People sit and follow the sun (largely when it's cooler)
Diversity of activity is richer
Individuals want to hang in busy places so they can people watch
Small benches are socially awkward
Seating can revolve or swing
Moveable chairs - people move chairs even when there's no reason to
Fixed seats don't work well (especially strangers facing each other), strangers won't choose to sit together
Triangulation - crowds always form around performers, sculptures (especially if can walk around/under/sit on it)
Food always draws people, as does shopfronts
Always better to be closer to the centre of town, spaces will attract more people
Could Rhyl (certain spaces) be filmed and ethnographically analysed in this way?
