Off line for 4 years from next week. Well I never. What will they all do on NYE without those famous chimes? Which Iron Maiden album had an illustration of it set in the future with a digital face? I remember going on a school trip up town once on a coach, God knows where, London Zoo or one of the museums no doubt, and driving past Parliament, one of the teachers would point out the famous land marks. Always sticks in my mind that at the time Big Ben was covered in scaffolding. Just been reading the BBC piece and it reckoned the last major refurbishment (which was when that was) was between 1983-85. Crazy it was that long ago. | |
