Twitter: The town clock that only chimes on social media
It's the town where the time is always one minute past nine - well, that's if you rely on its old clock. Because the clock has been broken for three years, the only chime you'll get from Machynlleth in mid Wales is on social media. So one elusive and cheeky resident has created a parody Twitter account for the Machynlleth town clock - which "Bongs" every hour. "It's a bit of a totem of the town because if the clock is not healthy, it asks a question of the town," said Mr Paige. "The clock is held in great affection and is meaningful to the town because it was paid by townsfolk and built by townsfolk."It's iconic to us and as there's only 2,000 people in the town, we're basically a T-junction and the clock is at the cross-section of that - you can't get through town without seeing it.
