You'll have to speak up a bit

More cynicism. I saw on BBC Breakfast Time this morning a piece about the medieval bells in St Lawrence Church, Ipswich, being rung today for the first time in 25 years.

We were informed that the 15th century bells would be heard for the first time in a quarter of a century later today…

Presumably then, everybody who was walking around Ipswich this morning at 7.20am and 8.20am and yesterday during the rehearsal, were issued with ear-protectors by the BBC to ensure they weren’t heard in advance.

Or maybe each of the clappers in the bells was wrapped in a large towel so only the campanologists could hear.

Or maybe I’m just a grumpy git with too much time on my hands in the morning…
