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. AmI 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.
