Oh, and everyone, don't listen him extolling North Landing, it's 'orrible, you really wouldn't like it.
Honest.

Ah yes, blue background.

And you're right about North Landing, its awful ,smells and everything.

Is this "stunningley" anywhere near Knottingley?

I've nowt much else left

What do you know about Knottingley ?
Why do you know about Knottingley, who told you, thats priviledged information.

Think I saw it in that book of top 10 chav towns.

Was that up the Central Tower?
If anyone is part of a group of any description who fancy a trip up the bell tower then just give me a PM, as my dad is a member of the York Minster Society of Bell Ringers and they are happy to organise tours of the bell towers.

Yes its the Central Tower, was much more fun before they introduced the "traffic light, one way" system for the spiral stairs - stairs so narrow that wide people need not apply and when they had people going both up and down at the same time it could get very cosy indeed.

York Minster has got nothing on Liverpool Cathedral.

Apart from 600 years of history and Vikings living in the vaults you mean ?

Quote ="wigan_rlfc"York Minster has got nothing on Liverpool Cathedral.'" Which one? The Anglican one, the secon biggest Anglican church in the world or the catholic one? Have you ever been in the crypt of the latter? It's enormous. The cathedral was planned on an enorous scale, it's just a shame they didn't have the money to complete it. It would have been a major tourist attraction these days. www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18960478

It is, for all to see, "Gods own Country"

I just need to believe in "God" now (and I don't think Jack Daniels have ever distilled enough)

It's the big one in York, big west end with a squat, short little central tower, you can't miss it.

I have edited my original post.

unlike yo.... hang on, it's not.

you've not had a faux complain about the NHS recently, are we due one?

I only edited it to add information for the benefit of the great unwashed.

didn't know your family read RLFans

I'm talking about the Anglican Cathedral, not Paddy's Wigwam.

What wit!

Yeah, York Minster's crap.
I mean, it's too old (built in the 1200's), it's too big and completely out-of-date (one of the largest genuine Gothic cathedrals in the world) and you can see the foundations of Roman and Saxon buildings in the crypt that they have never been bothered to tidy-out.
You can walk where Emperor Constantine walked.
Pfft, rubbish innit?

Whereas, Liverpool's cathedral was designed by a bloke who was better known for his power stations and the red phone box.
But, at least his grand-dad knew a bit about Gothic.

Not only where Constantine walked but also where he was crowned (if that's the right term for a Roman Emporer)

Yeah, didn't want to brag too much BUT, as the capital of the Empire was wherever the Emperor was ... and, as Constantine was declared Emperor when he was in York ...(you can see where this going, can't you?) York was once, albeit briefly, the capital of the Roman Empire.

And look what happened to the Roman Empire. It's all Yorks fault.

Of course we did. We brought it down, the whole damn thing. They came from south of Doncaster, they weren't welcome.
