Wait a minute! - Some old clock tower..???!!!!

Well at least you've heard of Big Ben - wish I could say the same about this very large ashtray or something - I mean, what sort of descriptive quality is that - where's the alliteration?? Sounds like 'maybe it's big, maybe it isn't - probably best we say it's larger than a lot of other things we know - that sounds safe enough, won't offend anyone there...'

PS. - Vera is still alive and well - just that she's hung up the vocal chords...
