Standing in The Square this morning, trying to hold a conversation with someone, I was just glad I dont live in that area and have to pit up with the church bells every week. I have never understood the attraction of standing in the Belfry pulling dangerously heavy bells on the end of a rope in combina\tions of sound that usually sound exactly the same to the uninitiated. Bellring seems to attract the same sort of obsessives who you can usually find on station platforms taking down the numbers of passing engines. Personally, I always thought that Steadman Triples was a cocktail which would be probably more useful then some sort of ringing method.
Still I suppose its all part of english culture.
Like Morris dasncing.
and dont get me started on Morris Dancing.
I like the bells. I like listening to them. Horses for courses, I suppose.
