Where Have The Benches Gone?

[Hetairoi]

I was in the town centre yesterday and noticed that all the benches had been removed!

Does anyone know where thay have gone?

 

[John Marwood]

They were not coke or burger benches so had to be removed

They'll be back, I'm sure - just removed for the benefit of tomorrow's international marketing jamboree, I would presume..

The old codgers that actually use them are, presumably, not officially approved sponsors.

I would predict they have been removed prior to the Olympic Torch passing through and will be returned afterwards. I seem to remember a similar thread in the past asking where they had gone before an event.

How much is this flaming torch costing us?

Last week the lamposts in newport road were painted. This week the road has been swept twice. I think they removed the salt bin, I guess it was the wrong colour of yellow.

I wonder if they will clear up the weekly vomit left behind after Tuesday student night.

LOCOG committee possibly didn't like our branding - possibly we haven't got permission to have Staffordshire Knot associated with the Olympcs - I had 2 people from Coca Cola wanting to put banners all across The Swan yesterday because of the TV coverage - told him I sold Pepsi!

So we now know why the benches have gone, but to answer the original question - where have they gone...?

 

[The Stafford Beast]

Maybe in a dimly lit warehouse in the middle of nowhere, next to where they keep the Ark of the Covenant.

And they had a bloke squirting weedkiller around the bases of the lamposts and bollards on Newport Road a couple of weeks ago ...

There is, if i'm not mistaken, a comedy 'skit' upon the notion that the queen must think the world smells of fresh paint?

Maybe it should be a mix of paint and weed-killer.

Informed the road was swept 4 times. They won't bother for a few years now!!
