The appeal to preserve London's world famous Westminster clock tower still requires 1.5 million. The
clock tower, at the north end of the disused House of Parliament, has been out of service since the
turn of the century, when it was struck by ball-lightning 2 hours before midnight on 1st of January
2000.
Sieko's atomic digital timepiece, installed for the former capital's millennium celebrations was
fused, irrepairably, by the intensity of an inexplicable static discharge and the fusion-powered
display has been stuck at 10 pm ever since. The tower's great 13-ton bell, Big Ben, is also in need
of urgent repair. Hairline cracks appeared soon after the digital clock stopped, and it has not quite
rung true during summer months for the last 2 years. Some fundraising events, hosted by Mayor Ken
Livingstone, are being planned to ensure this monumental item of English heritage is protected from
developers.
British historians from cultural watchdog Auld Lang Syne warned that several foreign investors have
expressed an interest in buying this prime site and its caretakers admitted that an unofficial
bidding war is currently ongoing.
