Then why didn't they re-name it "Big Vic" at Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee? [[whose celebratory parade, in 1896, was witnessed by mine own great uncle, when it passed through The East End of London in that year)[[so he claimed to me on many occaisions).

ther is no way would big vic be ok then and probably now.anyway big ben is the bell not tower.
her 60 years were up in 1897.23rd sept.1896 was the date she became the longest reigning english monarch,surpassing her grandfather george iii [[mad as a box of frogs!).she asked for that celebration to be put off 'till the next year to coincide with her 60th year as queen and empress of the british empire.so that parade was prob 1897.

Well, I was only 7 years old when my uncle told me that in 1953, during Queen Elizabeth's coronation, so, my uncle probably actually told me he saw her in 1897. [[an aside: I still resent our Canadian government stating that she is "Queen of Canada"). I was VERY happy when we changed the flag to The Maple Leaf, and when we changed the National Anthem to "O Canada". I never liked singing "God Save The King" [[or Queen, for that matter), nor liked seeing "The Union Jack" on our flag.
P.S. I know that "Big Ben" is the bell. I have dwelt in England for about 3-4 years [[when all my time there is added together. I was making a joke related to the "Big Beth" joke. I had heard that Queen Vicky ;) was sensitive about her weight. So, I realise that it would have been very disrespectful. Not saying that Cromwell did any better than the Sovereigns, but I'm an anarchistic, semi-socialistic republican [[or a semi-democratic/republican anarchist, if you will).
so apart from what you dont like rob,bet you're glad we had a mad king george iii.who caused all the chaos that lead to the american war of independence.

Yes. It worked out well, with both a USA and Canada eventually coming out of it. I might have rather seen Canada become fully independent in the early 1800s rather than later.
You don't believe in capital letters, eh?
yes robb but not when i type
i have 6 for you .......london!
Jokes like that deserve capital punishment.

I think that the capital is being punished enough,in d.c.the statue if freedom is locked in her room and forced to listen to congressman give speeches,now that's punishment!!
in DC? spose that would be capital punishment then
In the Capitol...........
On the Capitol.......shall not perish from.......
