What did Big Ben say to the Tower of Pisa?
“I’ve got the time if you’ve got the inclination.”
Forgive my recollection of this schoolboy joke, but I’m prompted to share it with you because of the news this week that, after two decades of being covered by scaffolding for a major restoration and clean, the Leaning Tower of Pisa can now be seen in its full glory.
I’ve actually been to the top of the tower twice: the first time on 4 September 1975 and then again on 10 August 1989. I recommend it. It gives a new angle on life.
