Ye gods.

The British Ironwork Centre make beautiful benches from recycled scrap iron for a third of the price!

Just why don’t our politicians think “Buy British” a slogan from years ago?

Maybe because it isn’t a 3 word sound bite …

Cold’ and ‘plain’ green coloured seats that cost £1,540 each (!) installed as part of his pedestrianisation scheme. I don’t get it.

Look it up if interested.

I haven’t got a problem with benches, but they should have been made here in the UK.
