The sound of Bells on Christmas Eve...

Post by LoveCurryPies » Tue Dec 22, 2020 9:48 am

A lady from Harrogate has suggested the Nation rings bells for 2 minutes on Christmas Eve. It is to let all of the World's lonely and old people know we are thinking of them. ( I can almost hear you replies :lol: )

However, it would also be really magical for the children in your neighbourhood!

ps. the Harrogate lady will no doubt be rattling her jewellery! :lol:

How will the lonely and old people know the bells are for them? And who owns a bell?

Not for me thanks, I'm not into this organised clapping, pan hitting or bell ringing.

I own a bell that I used to take on the Turf and went to Wembley in 1962.

People need something to replace the dearth of meaning and religion in their lives.

Ringing bells? Why not.

Deifying à system of healthcare provision? Definitely.

The woke shall inherit the world.

Blessed are the key workers.

The Ringing of Church Bells is a great sound be it in the Villages or the city....instills peace and calm. I did try it a couple of years ago to......not easy.

I’m sure there are Bell sounds on your mobile phones and even a quick Google search will produce records of bells. Anything that tinkles will do!

Were you self taught or did you have someone to show you the ropes?

This will go down like the Titanic in Nelson
There was lots of wingers of a non Christian nature re noisy bells on Sunday
I personally like bells and it's my big regret I didn't join my village bell ringers when asked in the past.

I have hyper sensitive cringe reflex syndrome. For that reason, I’m out.

No. In the early sixties in the Cricket Field End there were two of us with bells.

I don't have a bell.

Is it a middle class thing?

I had a new front door fitted over two years ago and still haven’t got round to getting a bell. I don’t hear people at the door now if I’m upstairs.

Well for the grumps on here, our little ones went to the door and rang theirs and had smiles on their faces. Magic of Christmas and all that.
