Maybe some palates can taste the difference.


I'll stock up on loads of supermarket cheese - Stilton, Jarlsberg, Camembert etc. :)

  • 2 weeks later...

You could try The Cheese Byre, they sell some fabulously tasty and different types of cheese, trouble is they probably won't be open on Xmas Eve as they don't usually open on Sundays......................................

oh, and they're based in Perth

Another fascinating Christmas on planet ED. People fighting over the last chunk of Red Leicester in a cheese shop. I got all my cheeses weeks ago from a lovely garden centre/farm shop in Kent. No one was ?watching me? whilst I was shopping, nor was I craving the attention of passers by so I could be seen standing in line waiting with anticipation for a overpriced lump of matured Gouda. Middle class men and women with wicker baskets craving the eyes of passers by, trying to be more pretentious than the person in front of them. Good grief, get a grip. It?s all going to be open again in a few days, take my advice. Stay home, crack open a nice malbec and watch some Christmas films with a tin of sweets. Merry Christmas everyone!

I bet you're looking forward to the lines of attention-seeking salt-of-the-earth types queuing overnight at the sales to get a few quid off a sofa - narcissistic, pretentious gits - some of them doubtless hoping to get on the telly.


Just like those look-at-me types queuing in *insert name of supermarket here* because they're too posh to order their groceries to be delivered.

I ?made do? with M&S. It?s great buying without having to even wait or talk to anyone.


I look at the Cheese I like, pick up one or two packs and go about my business.


Pay at the machine which says ?have you got your sparks card??


Job done, way better than the crumby shop that was there before.


Got home, ate some of my cheese.


Nice!

Wicker baskets? Very funny! They could have a gingham or Kath Kidson lining to be more cool.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
