Blessed Are The Cheesemakers?

"A cheesemaker has been told by police she may be liable for legal action if she supplies Gloucester's famous annual cheese rolling.

The traditional event involves revellers chasing a 7lb (3kg) wheel of Double Gloucester down Cooper's Hill.

Diana Smart, who makes the cheese for the event at her Churcham farm, said she had been warned by police about her responsibilities as organiser.

She said: "It made me feel pretty angry... there's not a lot we can do,"

Mrs Smart, 86, who has made cheese for the event for 25 years, said police had warned her she could be regarded as responsible if anybody was injured."

Run over by a truckle?

Yes. They are lethal. But what a waste of good cheese?

Must have been a slow day for the peelers

Well, as a consequence, the manufacturers (Diane Smart and her son) of the wheels of cheese have withdrawn their product from the event.

Oh fecking brilliant!

Well, I like Double Gloucester whether it has rolled down a hill first or not.

I find if its been rolled first it tends to be more juicy
