    John, the matter of prejudice against frame-chiming has been around for 120+ years and is unabated. A tower in Essex where frae-chiming has been keeping bells sounding during a dearth of FC ringers is a case in point. The local chimer has, for a number of years, chimed carols etc during the Christmas festive season. Recent recruitment has built up the home FC band and the chimer's services "are no longer required". The fact that the resurgence of FC ringing doesn't supply ringers for all services means that there is still plenty of opportunity for the bells to be frame-chimed, but the irrational prejudice of the ringers carries greater weight than long-standing tradition.
