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.

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
