My brother wants us to go to the Cheese Block on Christmas Eve morning to buy some cheese for Christmas. Does anyone have any idea what the queues will be like then? Or should we just go to Waitrose or our local farm shop before Christmas Eve (thus avoiding any potential queues).

Some Black Boomer and a ripe tallegio. Will we have to queue though on Christmas Eve morning?

Big lolz Bob. The daft xmas eve Cheese Block queue is an annual ED tradition which highlights poor upfront planning and says a lot about the cheese buying habits of your average punter. I would go several days before these lemmings ideally when the shop opens.
last time I went to the Cheese Block (in Christmas week) for some more unusual cheeses for my son in law, shop was so crowded I could not see most of the displays, people pushing and shoving to see the groceries on shelves, only 2 or 3 servers who seemed very annoyed that I only wanted small amounts (250 grams) of some cheeses . Ended up spending around ?20 - but have not set foot in the shop since.

Have to say I always end up at the Cheese Block once a year at Christmas, and always regret doing so due to their sour, moody, rude and generally unwelcoming disposition. But hey, the cheese is good...


this year I've ordered from Dukeshill and they're still taking orders up until 20th Dec, and if it's good enough for the Queen...

Little baby cheeses Titch?

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
