archbishop of canterbury

Posted by Catherine Jones on January 27, 2008 10:22 AM | 

The Archbishop of Canterbury told a packed Liverpool Cathedral last night that the city has a "long tradition of iconoclastic irony".
ie - the way it seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions.
ie - sheer cheeky contrariness.
Then the Bishop of Liverpool summed up what he felt was the essence of "iconoclastic Liverpool".
"What it means is having Ringo Starr and Rowan Williams in the same month in the city.
"Only, I would ask, if possible, don't go on the Jonathan Ross show."
