Helter skelter inside Norwich Cathedral is a mistake

It's not what you might think. In Britainlandia 'helter skelter' means something different than it does in the United States. Over there in fer'ner land it means a delightful fairground ride in the shape of a carnival lighthouse with a slide that curves around the outside. See for yourself. Duckduckgo images [helter skelter]

You get hundreds of images like this:

Some are super cool and look like a lot of fun.

Others are daft.

Now the Reverend Dr Gavin Ashenden, former chaplain to the queen ...

Queen. That kills me.

... put a fifty-five foot helter skelter in the nave of historic Norwich Cathedral.

Asked why he did such a stupid thing the Right Reverend Dr Gavin Ashenden said, "Well, we're British then aren't we." 

Then continued. "The roof in here is lovely but it's hard to see from the floor." 

"But now that I see it, and hear the yelps of the children mixed with church organ music, I can see that it might have been a mistake. Plus it only goes around once. What a drag. I thought it would be a lot more fun."
