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.

    • Yes I do have a vague idea of what's going on in the world, thanks Sephiroth, for explaining it all out to me though. The point I was trying to make, rather badly, because I'm busy and shouldn't be on here, is that I'm sure Jazzer didn't used to be this extreme. Either he's moved into wind-up territory, which people do do on here to keep themselves entertained, or he's just moving further along a spectrum as he gets older, which many people also do. 
    • Thank you for responding. I’m Carl Salawa’s little sister. I was nearly 8 when the incident happened. It’s still a very painful and sensitive topic in my family, so I never really asked too many questions growing up, but what I do know is this: Carl had just turned 18 and was on his way home that evening after spending time with his girlfriend and a small group of friends. The police claimed he jumped to his death, but his friends and some residents said he was being chased by police around the estate and that he fell. The toxicology report showed he had no alcohol or drugs in his system. Carl was well loved, an army cadet, and had just enlisted in the Army or Air Force. He had recently gotten engaged to his long-term girlfriend. He truly had everything to live for. Thank you again for remembering and for speaking about it. It really means a lot, especially with so little available publicly.
    • Another recommendation for Roger. He came round promptly to inspect my loft as I was worried I had mice in there. He checked it thoroughly and found no evidence of pests, and refused to take any payment for the trouble of coming out! Thank you Roger!
    • you may not have met them - but you've seen them on the streets protesting outside hostels. You've seen them in the 30% support for Reform. You may not have met them, but they sure do exist
