Riponinnit? And yes, it’s mad how unknown it is. My second favourite North Yorkshire ruined Abbey, Fountains, is just up the road too. Extra points if you guess the first!
Sathnam SangheraAmazing thing about Britain is how you can just stumble across a beautiful city with a stunning ancient cathedral, and you have never even heard of it before. Can you work it out?

This is, by my count, every type of funny. From Badenoch’s epic absurdity to Shapps’s huge embarrassment. And everything in between. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
