On thinking about it, I have simply accepted that Grimthorpe bells are <br>
bad, but have actually never heard one being rung. What exactly is it <br>
that made him so sure that he was right, only to be found wanting? Was <br>
he close to being right? Was it plain arrogance? Answers in plain <br>
English would be appreciated!<br>
<br>

Plain English on Grimthorpe would not be acceptable on any decent chat list.<br>
Clever, but ******<br>
