...as Hiroshima tries to get its old clock back.
Japan has again made an illegal attempt to hijack fundraising for Langport clock by making an under-the-counter bid to buy it outright.
"We've already told them they can't have it" said town council leader Val Saunders...from the set of Sandra Bullock's new film 'Miss Confidentiality'.
Despite the diplomatic row, British efforts to raise £7000 to get the clock down and repaired are well underway.
According to the website set up to engineer the fundraising (pictured), just over £2,160 has already been donated (as of Wednesday night)
If you'd like to donate online, click on the link below.
Or you can send a cheque payable to Langport Town Trust to the Town Hall on Bow Street, write the word 'clock' on the back of the cheque.
You can also make cash donations to Langport Information Centre or at the town hall itself, upstairs in the clerk's office.
