You are of course entitled to your opinion in the same way as anyone 
else. I have never heard of Hanley 'tripping off the tongue' in the 
same terms as Chewton Mendip, Manchester Town Hall, Heavitree and a 
great many others of all sorts of weights. As I said previously, 
ringers' opinions of bells vary for many reasons, one being the quality 
of the ringing achieved on them, and nothing to do with the sound.
