I agree with you, Richard - that would clearly be daft.  But, I don't
particularly care if someone wants to do that.  It's their bag.  (as long
as I'm not in the band!)

But why should there be a limit?  Suppose I am ringing Snow Tiger (or
Newgate*).  What is wrong with using 14 bobs, 1234 singles, and 18
"befores" so that you can get it down from 5280 without splitting the
tenors?  (maybe the latter being motivated by the band).
