No-one arriving from England may cross our threshhold without bearing at least one item from the 'wish list', which includes bacon, golden syrup, HP sauce, custard powder, Cadbury's chocolate, Walker's crisps, currants, dark brown sugar, and until this week, Cheddar cheese. Now stocked in a well-known Maria Alm supermarket, we have been buying West Country Cheddar in bulk to show that there is demand for the product. One can have too much of a good thing, and now we are feeling a little cheesed off.
