Saw that the first Faux-pas has been made though -a mix-up between the North and South Korean flags! Not a good start, I wonder who was to blame...
Actually I like bells abroad - just not English change ringing which just goes on... and on... and on... When we lived in Warwick again we were right by the parish church - it was at the bottom of our garden - and they were mad on bell ringing, plus the tower had a carillon which used to play tunes every three hours.

No one knows who will light the final flame - it is a secret till it happens.

BTW Dianne who is that in your new avatar?







Now you know what we had to put up with - a different tune every day of the week!
