Longest Bench? Err… NO!

We saw a bench at "Promenade de la Treille" in Geneva, which is claimed to be the World's Longest bench. However, we have some points that are contrary to the claim.

The "bench" is not made of single piece of wood but a collection of benches. Then, how come it could be the longest?
Probably, it could be the oldest one in the world since they say that the bench came in to existence several years back.
I read somewhere that Barcelona too boasts of a "World's longest bench". Obviously some one is wrong. Who would give a final ruling?
An interesting comment heard there: "Is it longer than the REPS bench?"

Geneva MASALA!!

Apparently some one had told somebody that food would be a problem at Geneva on a holiday. Taking cue from this, we embarked on the idea of preparing Chapathis & Masala for lunch. Before taking them down some one else told that due to 'Foot & Mouth' disease outbreak at UK, food items are not allowed from UK in to any other country. As the suspicion lasted till we reached Geneva whether they would or wouldn't allow the food items, apparently no one checked for it.

But everything went in a whiff of air when it was known that all along we had carried only the Masala and the Chapathis were conveniently forgotten at home.
