Alan is quite right about The ten in Hampstead - they were appalling to listen to , but in a way I would almost like to go back there and ring. Am I right in thinking that were cast as complete 10 in the 1850's ? Perhaps they were the most dreadful ten in Greater London , but of course there could be quite a debate as to which is or was the worst. <BR>
