Having now lived in York for nearly eight years, and having never seen the Minster in all its glory, would it be possible in the year 2000 for the scaffolding to be taken down?
Or is there some truth in the conversation I overheard between two tourists last year? "Every time we come here, this scaffolding is up on one tower or the other."
"Oh, it's to do with their marketing strategy, it encourages people to give more because they can see the need."
