An unusual use of pots and pans

Everyday we receive emails from customers and friends with either questions or advice about pots and pans. Yesterday we received one from a customer who sent us instead an unusual news story concerning pots and pans. After reading it and checking up to ensure that it was true we decided that this one was worth sharing with you on the blog.

In Mezzema, a small village of 85 people in Liguria in the north west of Italy the local priest took the unilateral decision to stop ringing the church bells after he received a complaint from a tourist about the early morning bell ringing. This infuriated the residents. One of whom complained that the bells “keep the elderly company” as well as it being a century old tradition. The villagers received no joy from their initial discussions with the priest concerning the bell ringing. They decided that they needed to take more direct action if they were to receive any satisfaction. The plan they hatched was to walk round the village in groups banging pots and pans as loudly as possibly at the times that the bells were supposed to ring. After doing this on several occasions the priest finally relented and the bells have started to chime again.

This has got to be one of the most unusual uses of pots and pans that we have come across. We have never tested our pans to see which one would be the nosiest but a quick straw poll came to the consensus that it would probably be the one of the Stellar pans that would win this competition. If you disagree with us we would love to hear your suggestions.
