LONDON -- There are Watch Lamas Onlinefew things in Britain more iconic than Big Ben, the giant clock that stands out above London and spends its day cheerfully bonging away the hours.

As a regular Radio 4 listener, eight-year-old Phoebe Hanson was concerned by this.
"Phoebe, my daughter, wrote a letter to the PM show on BBC Radio 4 worried about how they are going to lead up to the 6 o'clock news with Big Ben being out of action next year," wrote her father Jon Hanson on Facebook. "She offered her services to fill in and say BONG for them, their response was priceless..."
The reply, sent by the BBC's Roger Sawyer, is indeed on-point.
