No, not for Christmas just yet, I'm talking about the Olympics.

At precisely 8:12 on July 27, the day the curtain officially drops on the 2012 London Games, hundreds of thousands of Brits from all across the world will be encouraged to ring every bell they can find for three straight minutes.

Church bells. School bells. Door bells. Dinner bells. Cow bells. Butler bells. Bicycle bells. Car horns will be blowing, who knows what other sirens will be going off. They will all ring in celebration of the start of the Olympics, which will culminate with the opening ceremonies precisely 12 hours later.

 

Even historic Big Ben will get in on the act.
