<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A thread on ringing-chat in December 2011 discussed the topic of the number of ringers in the UK and a question of what constituted an active ringer. <br />
<br />
AJB wrote "I would need some persuading to consider someone who has not rung a peal or quarter in 12 months to be an active ringer. It is a bit like someone claiming to be a footballer but not playing in a match". After others had pointed out that there were a significant number of regular ringers who wouldn't meet this criterion, he penned the following:-<br />
<br />
''I call myself a jockey but I rarely ride a horse.''<br><br />
''I call myself a golfer but I'm seldom on the course.''<br><br />
''I call myself a ringer, as I once rang a bell,''<br><br />
''But, apart from three old blisters,''<br><br />
''You couldn't really tell.''<br><br />
<br />
AJB<br />
<br />
To which he received the following riposte:-<br />
<br />
''I ring on every Sunday, no matter what it takes''<br><br />
''I may not be an expert but I like the sound it makes.''<br><br />
''On Monday night, and Fridays, you'll find me in a tower''<br><br />
''Most Saturdays as well, and Abel by the hour.''<br><br />
''I've not scored many quarters, I rarely get the chance''<br><br />
''There's better ringers queuing up who catch the captain's glance.''<br><br />
''Now AJ doesn't know me, but he tells me I'm not much -''<br><br />
''It doesn't count as ringing if you only ring a touch.''<br><br />
''But luckily there's gentler folk who let me have a bell,''<br><br />
''So AJB I reckon you can kindly go to ...''<br><br />
<br />
I can't seem to find a rhyme ;-)<br />
