I don't know what you mean. Big Ben's definitely got scaffolding round it (the tower that's got the clock up the top of it) and they've put that on the HP label now.

The Beeb says "*commonly known as*".

Doesn't mean it's correct.

the Beeb says it's right

Gonegirl the newspaper report is wrong!

"kitty* you are correct, it IS the name of the largest bell!

I always thought Big Ben was the name of the bell.

Gonegirl Sat 01-Jun-19 12:47:26

definitely Big Ben

Gonegirl Sat 01-Jun-19 12:44:15

That's very clever.

I'm not a fan either Nonnie, but Mr P has been known to have brown sauce when having a bacon sandwich!

As a child I always preferred HP baked beans to Heinz though!

Thanks Phoenix I was just repeating what I heard on the radio, I don't eat the stuff!

Actually, being pedantic, the picture is of The House of Commons blush

Good marketing.
Now produced in Hollandsad

Feels like they are attacking an institution but of course they will go back when the scaffolding comes down. Good marketing.

Will it keep that long phoenix ??

Might become a collectors item, in many, many years!

Just heard that they have added scaffolding to the Big Ben picture!
