From what I can tell by the news, they didn't work.

One of the pictures in the article is from a Wikipedia page so maybe they don't let you smash up computers after all, pity.

"Only in Benidorm!"

No, it says in the article that "this concept is already in other Spanish Cities" so not "only in Benidorm"
Get it correct......

Well according to this website you have the option of smashing up a multitude of items including computers. As for the pity they didn't work you do realize that North America includes Canada, Mexico, Greenland and others.

Just trying to inject a little humour - suggest you relax a little.

All those digs have been stale for years now and don't raise a grin never mind a laugh/chuckle.

I'm fully relaxed thanks, I live in Spain 🇪🇸

They have them in Japan too, probably everywhere in the world by now and if anything I think Benidorm is late to the party!
