you are here Save Big Ben by Martin McFee
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.

you are here A better mousetrap?
by FAX droid # 57
British inventors can now apply for development funding for innovation in the domestic sector of more humane rodent capture and execution (the so-called "Designer Mousetrap" Grant), whether they are certifiably eccentric (according to rigorously detailed psych profile standards, established recently by the Albion Foundation for Behavioural Studies), or not.
