Bell Ringing is a skill which boasts a wealth of technical terms and expressions. Occasionally the BBC announcer (who is reading out a script) says something which a ringer recognises as an error or even a 'howler'. Certainly in our household this is greeted with grunts (well it is almost in the middle of the night) of horror or amusement. Twelve bells ringing Grandsire Triples..., a touch of Sliced Surprise Major, etc, etc.

But please spare a little mercy for the BBC - they may have received a recording with several bits of ringing on it, and a long chatty letter explaining exactly what is being rung (but using terminology resembling double dutch to a non-ringing producer). Sometimes a script gets associated with the wrong piece of ringing, or perhaps the typist misreads someone's handwriting. Or maybe the announcer is also still asleep too...
