Now I understand what Douglas Adams was ranting about regarding digital watches in Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. No wonder he became so depressed in his later works.

Big Ben isn't the clock, or the tower it's in, it's the bell - all the large clock tower bells are named. So when someone tells you they've seen Big Ben, they must have climbed up inside the Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament to see it. I don't even know if that's allowed on a tour (and can't be bothered googling it).
That's my "educate the furriners" bit done for the day then!
