Yeah, when visiting London, I‘ve heard Big Ben chime but after a while, you kind of don’t even notice it chiming unless you relatively close to Parliament, well I don’t.
Since the beginning of the restoration, I don’t think its chimed for a few years.
No, I’ve not been to the States or Canada and I’m not planning on visiting either at the moment but maybe I will sometime in the future.
Oh cool, that was pretty smart that you chose St. Marks for your surgery. It must have been a heck of a commute to have it there and travel back home. I am glad you went there though because we need this pouch to last our whole lives , makes sense to go to the best lol. Especially having free healthcare, you get the surgery done for free and you get top of the line care for free too, You win in many ways lol. I am not sure if I already asked this but did you get free ostomy supplies with your 9 1/2 years of having a stoma???
I would want to hear it chime everyday hahaa. And yeah I see its not going to chime again until 2021 unfortunately. I wonder why its taking soo long!!! What could they possibly be doing for it to take that long lol. I bet its going to be crowded the day it chimes again! I saw on youtube it was crowded the last time it chimed.
When you do visit, definitely go to Disney, a lot of people from your country go there first lol.
