In fact, big ben is the largest of the six bells of westminster palace in london. but it has long been associated with the name of the clock tower, which in september 2012 was officially called “elizabeth tower”. the decision to rename the tower was made by the british parliament to mark the 60th anniversary of the reign of queen elizabeth ii. the tower was built in 1858. the project architect was augustus pugin. the height of the tower and spire is 96.3 m. the palace of westminster, and therefore the tower, is on the parliament square next to westminster abbey. on the opposite side of the palace there is the thames embankment. the clock tower is the largest four-sided clock mechanism in the world, and in addition, with the most accurate clocks. at the base of each of the four clock dials there is a latin inscription “domine salvam fac reginam nostram victoriam primam” (“god save our queen victoria i”). around the perimeter of the tower, on the left and on the right of the clock, there is another phrase in latin – “laus deo” (“glory to god” or “praise the lord”). there used to be a prison in big ben. the last prisoner of big ben was a fighter for women’s rights emmeline pankhurst. now, next to the parliament there is a monument to her.

The manager of a supermarket overheard a man who was boasting about how much he had been stealing from the store. When the man came in the next day, the manager followed him around. The man bought a lot of things, and stood in a queue under the sign where was written that shoplifters should be prosecuted.Then he paid for everything and loaded his cart. After that he rolled the cart to his car and put the packets into it.
In the weeks that followed the man often came to the shop, loaded his cart with packets and tins and boxes. Each time he paid for every single item. Finally, the manager came up to him and said that he had been watching a man like a hawk.The manager added that he had never seen the man(him) pocket one thing.The manager continued that the man had never hidden anything under his coat and the man had paid for every item he had bought. The manager promised that he wouldn't say a word to anyone. The manager said that he would give the man a hundred dollars if the man told the manager what he was stealing.The man smiled and replied that those were shopping carts.
