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?

    • 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! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
