night watchman's bell - every hour he passes he is going to hit the bell. He starts at 11.p.m. and ends his work at 05.00 a.m.

Hope no one lives near by or they must be use to it by now.

Re: The Other Day

In front of every house-blocks there is such a bell. It is for our safety (Fire, thieves, etc. ). As a matter of fact, it is not that loud. It's only that you know someone is watching over you when you're asleep.
