Dublin world wide yeah sure.
There is no half measure with legislation, if it's a foreign land then
the distance is irrelevant . Are you going to tell the Irish that
modern UK legislation still applies in Dublin just because they are
closer than Katmandu.
OK then

What the excuse this time it's the dailymail ?

is somerset close enough.


and for the record I don't agree with silencing such things when you move in to the area that has them.


Both those examples are again automated systems as part of a method to
indicate the passage of time, not a team of campanologists ringing
the bells manually . That they are on a church isn't really critical
to the complaint as there have been similar concerns with such chimes
on village and town halls and it easy to find examples.

I chose that one because I silenced the chimes there myself many years
ago when we used to stay there while restoring a nearby canal.
Bloody chimes at night kept us awake so we stuck some welly socks on
the clapper after climbing up to the belfry, trouble was we used to
forget to remove it next day which resulted in the caretaker ,a mild
lady who has long passed getting a bit annoyed.

Now go and find me a link where church bells are rung by permanently
by on duty manual bell ringers right around the clock .
