It's as dead as an ex-parrot, isn't it?

It was rather graphically described me a sounding like the back end 
of a cow being hit with a dung covered spade! (Though "dung covered" 
was not quite the phrase he used!)

I heard Great George being chimed when I was in the ringing room 
quite some time ago and it did not sound as impressive as I would 
have thought it might. What does it sound like from outside the 
Cathedral?
