August is clearly bench month in the UK:
  • The world's first internet-enabled park bench is unveiled in Bury St Edmonds.
  • Twelve benches in Barrow-in-Furness are equipped with headphone sockets, each relating one chapter of a story.
  • A bench in Richmond Park is dedicated to Ian Dury, and plays eight of his songs.
  • This Sunday, a rather less high-tech bench in Soho Square will be dedicated to Kirsty MacColl.
