Benches Too Anti-Social

06/17/2005 1:00 PM

The benches and bins mentioned in a recent GPP post have been shut down. Gordon Glass, spokesman for the Junction, said that "despite being fitted with sensors designed to prevent crashes, the bins and benches lasted just three hours before being recaptured after running amok and repeatedly slamming into everything in the vicinity."
