Ben.
Who do you work for, btw?
I've just checked the specs at work - its def the last bong - the first 11 are just pratice bongs.
Hey, didn't know that. Thanks another piece of information I can bore people with added to the memory banks! Tar!Incidentally in the army we avoid 24.00 and 0.00 for midnight. If I said I'll meet you at midnight on the eleventh do I mean midnight at the start of the day or the end? To avoid confusion we never use midnight but would either use 0.01 (a minute past midnight at the start of the 11th) or 23.59 (a minute before the end of the day on the eleventh).
shes a woman shes always right if you know whats good for you
I really appreciate all the interest in this, however no-one has as yet provided me with an answer to the question, which was, put simply.
"How can I prove I'm right, and she is wrong?".
All of this is rather academic anyway, as the last time I drove past Big Ben the clock was 10 minutes slow.

Not according to my watchI thought Big Ben was one of the worlds most accurate clocks, run by an atomic clock or something
I'll find out tomorrow. My neighbour is part of the maintenance team and knows in great detail how it works. Hes not home at the moment though.
I think it's worth pointing out that you cannot do anything every day, on a night shift. Unless perhaps you are a badger or an owl.Well I know the person that built it and rings it every day on the night shift and he says its the last bong. He also said the maintenance teams dont know what they are talking about.

Is there any reason they would do this every day? I would have thought that one day's bongs are very similar to the next.Thats what they want you to think - however the night shift do the bongs from midnight to midday which are recorded and then played back from midday to midnight.
