I’m a Brit! Yes, our government has made a stupid decision in using tax payer money to refurbish Big Ben. But in hindsight, it’s a historical monument that does actually need to preserved...I just wish they’d postponed it for at least another decade or two! Don’t worry folks, we have plenty of ways to tell the time: every bus and train station, wrist watches, phones and not to forget public electronic message board with free wifi. 😂

@mynameisray Yes I know there are other ways to tell time. Just a funny question.

@FurryFace Just don’t let the public name it.

@FurryFace Us Brits aren’t good at engineering. Our 2012 Olympic countdown clock broke a day after the launch! 😂

Yes Big Ben is the bell, wouldn't this have been an ideal project for the Lottery Heritage fund to pay for.
