Deck Chair? Who's the First?

Do you know who the first person to use the word deck chair was? Robert Louis Stevenson. Ian Nesbitt, who wrote The Railway Children. Brecky, snarky and zooming. Do they ban the deck chairs on Bournemouth Beach? No. They stopped renting them out last year. It was a government thing or a council thing. I couldn't really find any evidence that they have been used as weapons. If you bought your own deck chair it wouldn't immediate climb down from a promising little hill.
