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

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

Good. Now Sprayber's sig is fixed let's got back on-topic re the fall of Britain. Isn't it somehow odd that this happens right after a yank seized Man U?
