Going to have to agree with you there and I'm finding more and more British cheeses in German supermarkets now. Frau D. nearly only buys British cheeses now having converted her (I have a frideg full of different ones from the last visit to the UK and they take me up to a year to consume!) although there are some good German ones as well. A favourite local dish of mine here is 'Handkäse mit Musik.' The 'musik' part comes from the chopped onions served with it but can be negated by having carraway seeds with it.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

ass has one kid and he's a specialist on the subject.
Anyone that has to put their kids into childcare, I feel for. My wife quit contracting to look after #3, after taking a year out of it for #1 and #2. After the experience we had with #1 and #2, we decided #3 wouldn't be put through it, as, cost aside, these people don't give two tulips for your children, are on minimum wage, and not that educated. Most smoke (what is it with poor people and smoking?) and are just not suited to it.
As for choosing to have kids: some people don't. We didn't choose to have #2 or #3. One of our kids died, and as a result, we were told #2 wasn't possible. After #2, the incredulity was open, and #3 dismissed out of hand. Obviously, we now have #3. Sometimes things aren't as obvious as they may appear.
Anyhoo, childcare, is expensive, very much so, and not worth the cost, imo. Before I got married, we survived in London, central london, on my wifes wages (£22k at the time) and my student loans. We lived fine. As we have earned more, we spend more, and you do not notice the improvement in your life; the wine gets more expensive, dinner out at better places, and maybe the holidays are slightly more extravagant. People don't recognise this, and believe it would be the end of the world to have less money, but it wouldn't be, for you'd have to learn to live within your means. The ones getting into trouble are the ones living beyond their means...Comment

If you're Cardiff based get down to Cheese Shop - Cardiff - Wales | Online Deli | Madame Fromage nom nom...Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

That's crazy talk, sorry, but honestly, that's insane. As much as I like a nice bit of Cheddar, or Wensleydale, Stilton, you just can't say broadhand, that British cheeses are finer, as they simply don't have the broad range of texture, flavour and taste that French cheeses do. I dropped a roundel of epoisses in some soughdour last night, baked it this morning, and it's exceptional.Originally posted by gingerjedi View Post
Probably very subjective, but there are thousands of different cheeses in France, and they're far better, as a rule, than English, British ones.Comment

Disagree at £4-5 per hour its cheaper than parking. I disagree with your analysis on registered childcare. Many are now required to provide the equivalent of primary school education (google EYFS). Of the child minders I know the majority are middle / upper working class (husbands have reasonably technical jobs).
You may find nurseries are staffed by 17 year old girls on minimum wage but so are old people's homes its about maximising profit.
