Not surprised if you hung it sideways

He didn't. It's due to the visual line of sight dependent on the Earth's curvature the further oop North you go.

Because it's an important part of our shared cultural history. Much like if they were to change the name of Big Ben to the London Clock, or, heaven forbid, the Albion to the Brighton soccer seagulls.

When I was a kid back in the late 70's (west pier was already closed) we used to just call it "the Pier" never actually called it the Palace pier. So when it changed it didn't seem to make any difference. When did they change the name?

Is it just me that never tires of getting angry when people call the Elizabeth Tower of the Palace of Westminster 'Big Ben'.

Naughty, you have mentioned their name and as such they are now entitled to post on this thread. Rules is rules.:wink:

Didn't they officially just change the name of Big Ben to the Elizabeth Tower or something?

Not that it was ever officially Big Ben, but you know what I mean

They changed it in the Queen's Jubilee year. Before that it was called Clock Tower.
