A video has emerged on social media in which pedestrians in England could be seen walking on chairs to avoid getting into a street flood.
In the video that was shared on Instagram by @ladbible, the pedestrians queued to make use of the chairs to cross the flood to the other side of the road.
Some could, however, be seen stepping into the puddle because it wasn't too deep.

Those who refused to step into the floodwater didn't want their shoes or socks to get wet, hence the stress of making use of chairs.

In other news, Briefly News previously reported that Somizi Mhlongo recently shared a clip of a spunky young South African couple, who go by ‘Candy and the King’, busting some intentionally hilarious moves on their social media platforms. After seeing their reaction, Briefly News decided to get in contact with the pair.
Candy and the King left a comment on Somizi’s post that most were not expecting. Expressing their feels, the couple made it clear that not tagging them was just not cool.
“We’re stoked you find our content funny. Loads of our East African fans enjoyed the video too. It would have been great to collab and get you into other countries like Tanzania, Kenya and Southeast Asia. A tag would have been nice and actually necessary, since tagging original creators is all part of creators’ code,” @candy_and_the_king commented.
