    What could have caused this? One of the very few times it happened before wasn't that long ago either.

      Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

              Maybe not, but the BBC might want to avoid the risk of causing widespread panic.

                The idiotic concept of daylight savings time, most probably. Clocks everywhere have to be set twice a year, and I have a strong feeling many of the older ones on churches and other public buildings weren't meant to be tampered with this way.

                      The Tower needs to keep the ravens, not crows.

                      I draw the distinction as the crows are threatening the continued presence of the ravens.

                            By bad, but aren't the ravens wings clipped so that they won't fly away because of the silly myth about the monarchy falling if they fly away.

                            btw Looks like the IRA would be sending assasins to kill the ravens

                              I agree with Tuberski, it ought to be wander, not wonder.
