Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Now then Malc. Autocorrect gets a hold of words on phones as you know. Now I've just checked, and unusually it accepts both spellings, which sort of mirrors the link from BD. If I remember correctly from my school days, there was also confusion over the spelling of jewellery. Some places had one 'l' others two. Quote

miamiwhite Posted December 30, 2019 Author Posted December 30, 2019 Are sweep and Casino having thoughts that the bell is being cleaned and not in use ? Technically, they are correct.....BUT.....they are allowing the ringing of the bells tomorrow plus on the 31st of January. Quote
