09 April
2008 Happy
Birthday, Big Ben Thursday, April
10 2008 will be the 150th anniversary of Big Ben
being cast and William
Hill are
offering a number of specials for its birthday
year. Big Ben has been
thwarted for a number of reasons over the years and
the bookies are offering odds on similar
occurrences in 2008. William Hill offered 500/1
that Big Ben fails to chime over the twenty four
hour period of the 10th of April, 100/1 that it
fails to chime in 2008 because of bird
interference, 150/1 due to snow and 150/1 because
of a heat wave this summer. "Big Ben is one
of the best known landmarks and in typical British
fashion punters are always keen to have a small
wager on something going wrong," said William
Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams. Big Ben
Specials 100/1 Big Ben To
Fail To Chime due to Bird interference (In 1949 a
flock of starlings managed to stop it briefly by
perching on one of the minute hands). 150/1 Big Ben
Fails to chime due to being frozen / Snow Build up
in 2008 (A build-up of snow on the hands caused it
to ring in the New Year ten minutes late in
1962). 150/1 Big Ben to
stop due to a heat wave in 2008 (In May 2005 it
ground to a halt for more than an hour and a half,
probably because of hot weather). 500/1 Big Ben To
Stop On Birthday. 1000/1 One Of The
Hands To Fall Off in 2008. William
