I'M a bit worried about our fasting archbishop.

As an incomer, His Grace seems not to be aware that York is the fun capital of the north.

Local history is fun, war (if sufficiently remote) is fun, art is fun, and judging by a recent prospectus issued by York St John College, higher education is fun.

We have the big wheel, the road train, purple jumbo buses, and our soon-to-be-celebrated lap dancers.

If Dr Sentamu is going to fly in the face of change, and take his job seriously, I fear the council will lose all patience, and banish him to Heslington.
