Oh, that's a picture of something that I wouldn't have seen if I'd been staring at my phone, so it felt thematically appropriate. But I will admit that, when combined with the slightly oblique title, it does look quite peculiar. Ah well. 🙇‍♂️ ATTRIBUTIONS: The town hall bell sound effect was actually a recording from freesound, because I didn't get a chance to pop into town and record the actual Nottingham Council House Bell in time. But this sounds a lot like it: Cathedral bell 9AM 200503_0169.wav by klankbeeld -- https://freesound.org/s/626836/ [https://freesound.org/s/626836/] -- License: Attribution 4.0 All the other sound was real recordings made by me, so it's not all lies.   👱‍♂️ MORE ABOUT MATT You can follow me on Instagram: @mattwattsmakesdocs [https://www.instagram.com/mattwattsmakesdocs/] Here's my website: https://www.mattwattsmakesdocs.co.uk/ [https://www.mattwattsmakesdocs.co.uk/] Here's my newsletter: https://themattazine.beehiiv.com/ [https://themattazine.beehiiv.com/ ] 💌 WHAT'S ON YOUR SCREEN?
