I've got no prob with UK cheese, just saying the global demand for it is relatively miniscule.

The UK cheese deficit is in the region of 40,000 tonnes per month.

Some of you are apparently more acquainted with crack than cheese

Whereas I suspect if you look at France they are exporting millions of tonnes of cheese a month and would look at you with baffled disgust if you mentioned that other countries make it at all.

My local supermarket in Paris, in a quite untouristy part of the city, carries Wyke Farms cheddar, in slices, blocks, and shredded as well. I have no idea if that's a "good" cheddar but you do export some cheese
(I think British cheese is generally excellent fwiw)

Pathetic stuff.
Sir Steve House said officers could not have known Butler and the driver of the BMW car were black before they stopped it, because the windows were tinted.
“Criminals often use vehicles to travel in and to commit crime, therefore officers will often check cars to see if there is anything that requires them to stop it and do further checks.”
House continued: “The officers ran a number plate check on the vehicle. At this stage, the officers still didn’t know who the occupants of the car were, including their ethnicity because the car windows were tinted.
Tinted front windscreen was it?

I love mixing a few different cheeses for sauces cos it seems any combination seems to work fine, never had a disaster yet. Stilton gives a lovely texture to sauces and you can't go wrong with a bit of blue brie in there as well.

absolutely shocking british cheese situation in the US. just shocking. nothing but cheddar, and what they call "sharp cheddar" is so mild i would not give it to an infant with a weak stomach, and what they call mild is essentially milk in a solid form. you couldn't kick a ball in the street.

Apologies for that bit of ignorant assumption of me there Daniel. Cultural imperialism is a hell of a drug! I don't generally bother with celeb nonsense but was pleased to notice Christopher Eccleston has referred to the Queen as "parasite in chief in her idiot hat" on social media.

Some of the Québécois stuff is pretty good, but it usually pales next to its French inspirations.

Rishi has unblemished petite smooth hands that have never done hard labour, not that there is anything wrong with that but I could imagine him wearing silk gloves to do light gardening. Whereas that hand looks like the hand of a hgv driver or a plumber, they probably looked at that pic where he is giving a thumbs up to a toaster and decided not only does he look like a total dick but he's got very small hands as well (which I'm intending to shame here, just shaming the game!)
