@simonbellringer godshill and brighstone have gree, yellow and brown striped! Thankfully (at the moment) we havent too many boring red white and blues!!!!!!!
@KDowner94 When I went, I swear they were red white and blue!! Or was that the lighting? East Knoyle have green yellow and maroon!!
I do like a ring with different coloured sallies!! Fulham have about 3 different types of sally; the 8 has an East Knoyle sally, the 3 and 9 have maroon and gold, and the others have navy blue!!
@KDowner94 Yes, I remember them being slightly manky!! Stratton St Margaret got new ones (gold with black striped sallies before you ask!!) and within a WEEK of them going on, a squirrel managed to get into the tower and eat through the two tenor ropes, meaning they needed splicing!!
Although, with Stratton's tenors, I couldnt blame that smart squirrel for wanting to shut them up, awful bells!! 7=Edwards Neale (crap founder) and tenor is C&G Mears (who cast some monstrosities in their time!!)
@KDowner94 Anyway, another "sally" anecdote - the 3 at Beverley Minster in Yorkshire has a "French Sally" - 3 solid "blocks" of red, white and blue - I think it aids learners, showing them where they should be catching the sally - the red bit if they're short, the white bit if they're average, and the blue bit if they're lanky!! :)
Sorry - just re-read Robster981's comment. I read your 'tenor' as 'treble', which is what prompted my response (I can see now my opening sentence doesn't make sense). Yes, agree with what you say about the tenor.
Far as I can tell, the treble's a she (it's the 'Look to, treble's going ..' bit that gives it away! Tenor's a bit erratic at times though. I've done a lot of covering in doubles & triples method (mainly Plain Bob, Grandsire and the odd Stedman). When the tenor's rung behind, it really sets the pace and can make quite a difference over a quarter or longer. By tucking in well, I can shave a good 5 minutes off the total time taken for a quarter peal (45 mins instead of 50).
tenor is very quiet

I was up the ladder to the bells, so was pretty much next to the ceiling when filming it.
