Originally posted by cailin maith View PostBit late today, got side tracked in General and I discovered there is a place named cheddar... cool eh?
It's is where they have the huge vats that old tramps' socks are boiled in to render down into supermarket-brand cheese.
Once upon a time there actually was a product called Cheddar Cheese. It was very nice. But that was in once-upon-a-time land. Before supermarkets destroyed the British cheese industry.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

You'll notice that most of their officially sanctioned events require you to be using the latest rules and have the figures to represent the units accurately in order to be allowed to take part.
