Ah Hibbs, on that one, the H-E seems to be keeping schtum, or as Nettie would have it:



the hand/eye ain't listening/seeing


I have another question: Dear all seeing Hand-Eye, will I ever have dinner with people who can navigate a cheese board and don't cut the cheese so as to nab all the best bits for themselves?

Ah Rosie


Welcome back to the table of the fountain of knowledge.


The Hand-Eye? says....


There once was a woman who saw heaven and hell, but found they were nearly the same.

Each one consisted of a group of people sitting at a round table with cheese. But their chopsticks were way too long to eat cheese with! The difference was that people in heaven were always full of cheese and happy, while the people in hell were messin' with the cheese.

Yes.


Purgatory is a giant fondue of bubbling hot cheese maxxi, though i'm not sure it's limited to "Babybels" as i'm sure the odd cheese string or Bavarian Smoked slips in there.


Does that answer your question ?

Maxxi, maxxi, maxxi,


Rescind your anger, Smok/Bav is an unwilling criminal in the cheese world.


I'm much more furious with Red Leicester; which is neither red nor from Leicester.

RosieH. Please note, the nose is cut from this cheese.


The H-E

aaah, Red Leicester - the permatanned chav of the cheese world.


This particular example bears the seam and creases of a vacuum-packed portion, a bit like a teenager's bedroom - all sweat, greasy skin and a smell of old vomit. The laughing cow must be turning in her grave.


Re Bavsmochee I refer you to the hollanderish cheese-eating classes - "Cheese that is deemed not fit to eat in Holland (all Bavarian smoked cheese, for example) is fed to the cats"


eta: and it comes in LOGS!

I have a question of social etiquette.


"don't nose the cheese" can only apply to cheeses with non constant features eg blue cheese which have more concentrated centres? I have worked this out as my own theory over time, but cant see the logic in people taking a "side strip" of a constant cheese like camembert....


I'm sure Rosie Cheese will put me right.

Ah Franky-poos


The H-E is resting ( actually she's cuffed to my side )


I'm sure she'll glam up later for a shot though.


Nette:)

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
