Big Ben on FM or AM radio is sort of accurate to a second or so. It can

I never get to hear the beginning of the PM programme. Do they have Big

Ben then? I know they have it at 6pm at the start of the news.



Possibly not, I was having trouble remembering which it was. I know I

hear it most evenings when I'm listening to Radio 4, though. ISTR they

play it at either 9 or 10 PM, too.



A couple of years ago Big Ben was being repaired so they had birdsong

instead. It wasn't as accurate.



Obviously. How d'you expect a bird to tell the time without a watch? :-)

Could tweet for it. ;-)
