Darn, i wish someone had told me about that.

"
Hundreds of churches, organisations and individuals across the nation took part in the bell-ringing event – led by Big Ben, which chimed non-stop for three minutes, starting at 8.12am.

The cacophony of sound – called All The Bells – was the idea of Turner Prize-winning artist Martin Creed, who had encouraged everyone in the UK to join in."


How do you get to be an Artist? You can get bags of money from the Government, so I'm told.
