Bong...
In some ways, I am incorrigibly British and I have the great good fortune to live within hearing distance of Big Ben. I was delighted to hear last night, for the first time since August 11th, the sonorous chimes on the hour. The sound of Big Ben and the Shipping Forecast are, I would go so far as to say,not only fragments, but characteristic fragments, of the English scene.Courtesy of Wikipedia, the tune played by Big Ben, Westminster Quarters.
