As usual they always sound better the further you are from them - none of the local ringers or parishioners share this desire. In this particular case, owing to the fact that they are rust buckets, even the CBC feel there is no merit in their retention. And as most will know only 7 are ringable and those are declining fast.</div><div><br></div><div>Richard<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 7 Jan 2012, at 09:49, "George Dawson" <<a href="mailto:george@gadawson.wanadoo.co.uk">george@DAWcL5iKytsHf95-4MKzp0e8f2aPDWCvWCNtjC2PAioWmUQBdsASwRXyqe1nYO3PMXhKYvBMtDRi5MKMKhoLOX57ybkpKtM.yahoo.invalid</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>
