I live next to a church. I actually like the sound of church bells; I used to live near a mosque and I liked the muezzin too.
The bells are designed to ring, on the hour, the time, eg 10 strikes for 10am, and a single strike for the half hour.
About 5 months ago, when I moved in, everything was fine. The bell was slightly off exact time, about 1 minute late, but I am not expecting atomic clock precision from old machinery. But it slowly started to drift... 1 minute late, 2 minutes late, 7 minutes late...
I spent 7 weeks away and on my return my latent OCD is severely triggered: the bell is currently 4 minutes behind the hour, but instead of ringing 10 times at 10:04 it rings 8 times, as if it was 08:00
How does this not drive the dominee (it is an NGK) absolutely batshit crazy??
the Dominee cant question the church. even when there is evidence that something is wrong....I live next to a church. I actually like the sound of church bells; I used to live near a mosque and I liked the muezzin too.
