There is a bell tower in England, which never tells the time accurately. Why not let the locals modify it?

When it comes to traveling, many friends will choose to go to Europe, and both the culture and the scenery are very charming. In Europe, more people prefer to go to Britain. I remember an English driver once summed up three fickle characteristics of Britain: weather, work and women. The gentlemanly manner, gorgeous architecture and pleasant climate in Britain are well known to us, but there is a mysterious city in Britain-Edinburgh, which has a strange bell tower. It never tells the time correctly, but the locals are not allowed to modify it.

The bell tower named Barmor Le Bell is located in the Barrmor Le Hotel in the east of Prince Street, next to waverley Railway Station. Today, with the development of electronic equipment, many British people still don't want to look at the time of their mobile phones, but subconsciously look at the clock tower before entering the station, but the time of the clock tower is not on time.

The story of this bell tower begins with 1902, when the hotel was just built, next to the railway station. At that time, in order to ensure that their passengers would not miss the train because of the time problem, the North British Railway Company thought that moving the bell tower three minutes in advance could solve the problem of missing the train very effectively when the mobile phone was not popular at that time, and this habit of moving the bell tower three minutes in advance has been preserved to this day.

The time of this clock is not accurate all the year round. In order to adapt to the annual competition, we will make corresponding adjustments. For example, on a very important local eve, a craftsman will be sent here to repair this timing error. However, after a hundred years of history, the hotel has changed owners many times, but it has never changed this three minutes in advance.
