After 157 years of nearly unbroken service the bongs of big ben are to be silenced for several month, so urgent repairs can be done to prevent the clocks mechanism for falling and to tackle corrosion in the elizabeth tower, what do you think of the news? I recon it is good as it needs to be serviced to function many decades to come

There was a piece on radio 4 earlier asking what they should replace the bongs with.

They should be replaced with the sound of a kazoo.

Yes, would be good to replace something with them as a temporary thing.

It is a shame they are silenced, but obviously they have to be repaired.

They should get the clangers to stand in and play the chimes through loudspeakers while the work is carried out
