great!

Haven't heard bells in my hometown for 2 years or more now, missing them, nice to be reminded what they sound like. I can't imagine why they stopped ringing ...................? Could it be the scamdemic?

[@simonridley6609]

Likely, have look at the website for the Association of Ringing Teachers and find somewhere near you where you can learn.....

Is your town thetford?

[@MauveStingerStings]

All bells sounds nice but tenor sounds a bit off

[@adamm2693]

always thought that !! the tenor is slightly deeper than it should be.

[@adamm2693]

which is strange to have happened, because they retuned it from F#!

[@MauveStingerStings]

@@adamm2693 To solve the problem, just remove more metal off the bell

James, you do realise you can delete comments, if you get people like Nikoc Nodac, you can just delete the comments.

[@JamesJoynson]

Yes I know. I do it all the time. I’m just getting fed up of it now tbh. If I’m gonna remove a comment, I just report it instead so it never happens again on any other of my videos

[@RingerJake]

I’m fed up with seeing his comments everywhere. They bring nothing to the table and are just plain irritating and annoying. Plus he threatened to attack some young ringers who confronted him and told him to bugger off. He’s a thoroughly vile individual.

[@MauveStingerStings]

@@RingerJake Does any ringer know him in real life?

[@ivanbarritt]

@@JamesJoynson just disable comments altogether
