CHEESE SWIPED

Somebody stole tons of cheddar cheese worth more than $380,000 (£300,000) from a London cheese distributor. The company, Neal’s Yard Dairy, delivered 22 tons of cheddar to a person posing as wholesale distributor for a big French retailer. Around 950 cloth-wrapped artisan cheeses were delivered before it was discovered the person was a fraud. More than 22 tons of artisan cheddars, including Hafod Welsh, Westcombe, and Pitchfork were taken. All the cheeses are award-winning and have a high monetary value.
* Yeah, when you add “artisan” to the description, you can immediately jack up the prices 30%.
* Come on, even a half-blind hound dog could follow that trail.
* Grocery retailers are being warned to keep an eye on their cracker supply.
* Who needs that much cheese? Is there an omelet festival happening in the vicinity?
* Award-winning cheese worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nice. Last night I had a grilled cheese made with Velveeta.
