http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_Bells -- a BBCWS interval signal...
 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_Bells
A Recording of the Bow Bells made in 1926 has been used by the BBC World
Service as an interval signal for the English Language broadcasts since the
early 1940s. It is still used today preceding some English broadcasts.

I have yet to find a recording of Bow Bells on the web in WAV or MP3-AAC.
Where do recordings of this interval exist (in these formats)?

Is this not the snippet of music from the old tune "Lily Burlero?"

Lilliburlero is the signature tune of the world service of the BBC and
so is heard all over the world many times a day.

Yes, but that's not Bow Bells.

Pink Floyd used 'em on a record so they're in the BBC sound effects
archives.

The bells are more of a ''tuning signal'' than an ID. Like the kiwi
on RNZI or the Waltzing Mathilda on R. Australia, no?

Yes, an interval signal.

It is said that to be a true Londoner one must be born within the sound of Bow
Bells.

And, to quote directly from this wikipedia link:

"It is said that to be a true cockney, you must have been born within
earshot of the bells."

This is the commonly accepted definition of a cockney, and not unique
to wikipedia.

The bells of the parish church of St Mary-le-Bow cannot be heard
throughout the City of London, so there are true Londoners who were not
born within earshot of the Bow Bells.

I shall refrain from childish insults, no matter how obvious and
relevant.
