>From the Yahoo UK radio group. Does Big Ben make any regular appearances on the World Service anymore? I honestly haven't heard it on any WS programming in years.

He has been soliciting ideas for what should replace it on the BBC. So far there are about 200 comments on the PM website, some funny and some just silly. Many people don't seem to realise that the broadcasts of Big Ben on the BBC are always live. Many years ago, I remember meeting a shortwave listener at a convention in the United States, and he was adamant that the BBC used a recording.
