By now you will almost certainly have seen the breaking news which has been top story on the South Wales Argus all morning. It's a timely reminder that there are things happening each and every day across the UK which barely warrant a mention in our largely London-centric 'national' newspapers:
Fortunately the South Wales Argus isn't going to let this story go without a fight, having first broken the news nearly two years ago:
"The Argus first covered the story of the back-to-front bench in June 2009 when Matthew Pimm, 30, who walks his labrador Buster Alexander twice a day and often passes the bench, said he was at a loss to see why it was put in facing away from the great views."
...oh, so it's not actually been put in 'the wrong way around', as claimed? It's just that if he was installing it a member of the public would probably have put it facing the other way.
Maybe it's not such a big story after all.
