Yes yes yes yes yes yes.
There were two of us in the kitchen yelling, "Good for you, son" and "Follow
up with the right hook, boy" and the like.
There was some dispute chez nous about what had been said at the
cross-carrying. The wofe thought they said "Helen should have stayed - Yes
.....I'm glad I saw it" But I thought it was "....glad I saw *her*", in a
ruminative tone which I took to mean, "Blimey, has poor old Pat got to deal
with that, too?" Anyone got the definitive version?

it's actually been discussed in the last few months, here on umra.
>I am afraid that we are faced with a straightforward continuity error.
my interpretation is that, once he'd learnt to speak, he realised that
he was quite capable of coping with the name he'd grown up with. it
often happens, you know:
irritating parent: "of course, tommy doesn't like being called that
any more, and wants us to call him _tom_ <poorly suppressed chortle>"
tommy (for it is he): "oh, don't be so silly <parent>, i'm quite happy
being called whatever people want to call me, within reason".

back as they might: they probably also have to show the sausages as a
separate account in some way or other. Very cruel to compare Tommy to the
Grundies though.

My grandfather had a saying that ran "An apple pie without some cheese

We think this is American - he spent some time of his academic career
there shortly after the end of WWII.

She meant that Tommy would have to prepare them every quarter for the
VAT-man, but this is not true: to complete the VAT return merely(!)
requires the calculation of domestic and EU sales and purchases and
ammounts of input and output VAT. of course.
However, aside from teh fact that Tommy is not turning over the GBP
45000 or whatever the level is for obligatory VATing, registering for
VAT would reduce the attractiveness of the products (I don't suppose
that most of the customers are VAT registered) and would lay his

C&E officers, and I understand that they are *very* particular about

I always thought it was a Yorkshire saying, and specifically meant

But surely sausages wouldn't have VAT on them anyhow, unless they are
served in a restaurant.

I think you must be in error here,given that Wensleydale is simply a poor
knock- off of Lancashire cheese,without which apple pie is like a kiss...and
jolly nice too...but what about squeeze and biscuits,squeeze on
toast,macaroni squeeze etc.,all of which are good ways of using Lancashire
cheese. steve rarebittenand rabid BHS

Well let me bore you here,you need only to register for VAT if your
turnover is above a certain amount(I'm not sure what it is at the
moment but 50,000 springs to mind) However if you fall below that
amount and are paying VAT on your supplies it is worth registering so
that you can claim the VAT back even if you are not charging it,or
liable to charge it.
In the case of sausages they are deemed as food,so you do not charge
VAT on them however if the packaging can be reused you must
charge(Collect VAT) on that part.
In Tommy's case it would be worth registering for VAT as although the
ingredients are not subject to VAT nor the final product,he will pay
VAT on the packaging as it is not food.
My trade has just had a "row" with HM C& E on a similar point,they do
have a rather interesting page at www.hmce.gov.uk

I've always found the VAT office very approachable,they do not make
(at least in my case ,)impromptu visits,even though they are entitled
to.But most of the time they will ring you to make a mutually
convenient appointment(They can make the SAS look like the
Teletubbies) I have requested them on occassion to visit me to sort
various things out.

Quite. As far as I can tell, he could get VAT back on his fuel, phone
and printing costs. That should make registration worthwhile.[1]

whereas i (as a bit of a cheese fanatic) find the whole proposition
preposterous. there _are_ points of similarity between lancashire and
wensleydale -- for example, neither is a blue cheese -- but to say
that one is a copy of the other is as daft as to say that blue vinney
is merely a copy of stilton, or brie of camembert.
there are few enough of our traditional cheeses still being made,
despite the supreme quality of many[*], that we can't afford to
denigrate any of them.

I have a problem with Helens comments. CMIIW but I thought they'd
established that Tommy's pork and sausages were part of the Bridge
Farm experience (hence all of the hassle over branding etc.) and _not_
a separate business in its own right. If that is so then a) Tommy
doesn't need to do the accounts, they are part of BF's responsibility
('though I accept that T may have to keep the relevant info for input
to them) and b) surely BF as a whole (the farm, dairy, (extinct) shop
etc.) is probably registered for VAT so T's "accounts" should be going
into them already.

Let me first admit,Robin,that I haven't tasted Wensleydale for a good 15
years,and the last time I did,the crisis in the production of W.had reached a
very serious stage,and this reflected on its quality,it was the time when EEC

Oops, I forgot about this. Sausages do, in coming with all foodstuffs

However, when hidden, the full 17.5% is applied as to most other

I think that Hell-en (and Tony and Pat by association) would *like*
Bridge Farm Sausages to be hidden away as part of Bridge Farm
International (UK) plc, but, clearly, from Hell-en's comments, the
sausage business is currently separate from the farm.

Defence of Wensleydale? What a load of old poppycock. Eny fule nose
that a half-decent Lancashire cheese outclasses even the so-called
best offerings from Wensleydale in all departments.
The only bad thing about Lancashire cheese is that I never get home
with the full pound of it that I purchese because of my taking too
many little nibbles from it en route.

As a resident Cestrian, I must also object about this comparison. For
instance, do you mean Red Cheshire or White Cheshire (no, not like
Russians)? How can you possibly compare the sharpness of a decent
Cheshire, regardless of colour, with the oester-pennine product.
Ah, ISTR you mentioned shopping at Tesco who do not seem to recognise
either of the Cheshire nor the Lancashire cheeses in their deli
displays IME but prefer to suffocate them in plastic in cold cabinets.
Indeed, I also recall Tesco having more versions of Brie on their deli
counters than of all types of proper British cheeses. It dismays me
that the customer base is not served the basic "English"[1] cheeses[2]
as marketed years ago under the motto "English cheeses pleases". Now
we have to have cheeses mixed with all sorts of fruit, nuts and even
other cheeses, just for them to get any sort of market while the
honest product is shoved into the background.
[1] I bet these adverts surprised Caerphilly residents.
[2] There were ISTR thirteen of these cheeses and my brain is being
racked as I try to recall them all.
<lurches forward wagging forefinger>
And another thing... why is it that the citizens of this country are
ecstatic in supporting the cheesemakers of France, Italy, wherever,
and yet so reluctant to support the genuine domestic product? You
don't find Swiss/French/etc households buying mounds of our cheeses in
the same way that the Brits buy theirs.
Maybe I'm lucky in having the wanderlust. I don't drink German beer
in the UK, I don't like it here. In Germany, however, I drink all
sorts of German beer. It just feels right there and inappropriate
over here. This goes for many other thing in and from many other
countries and enriches, for me, the experience of travel.

the discerning households of france usually welcome a stilton. it's
as difficult for them to get a decent stilton as it is for us to buy
one in a supermarket.

indeed. mind you, i find it's usually as well to be aware where it's
a good idea to drink the beer, and where to drink the wine. i've not
been to many places that are capable of both very well -- australia is
one (provided you avoid the beers such as are advertised over here ...
as the australians do). the west coast of the usa is increasingly
another: some of the micro-breweries produce a very acceptable drink.
(but again you have to avoid the mass market gnat's piss).

Wensleydale is totally different from Cheshire. Wensleydale is white,
crumbly, and very slightly moist, whereas Cheshire is white, crumbly,
very slightly moist, and THE BEST CHEESE EVER MADE.

Hear, Hear. When in Rome, get pissed as the Romans do.
Here in Mynyddbach, I buy double Gloucester, Caerfili and local Cheddar.
They are all better than locally-purchased Cheshire.
But whenever I return to God's Own County I call in at Williams of
Holmes Chapel and buy a pound of Farmhouse Cheshire cheese - 'tis
ambrosia.
In Wales I drink beer. In the south of France I drink wine. Copy local
tastes. They know what they're doing.

ajw in ha7 has probably never encountered either with a consistency
other than that of putty with an attitude.
speaking as a native of none of the counties, i find a lot of pleasure
can be had from any of cheshire, lancashire or wensleydale. i do hope
we're not going, collectively, to fall out over a matter of
nationalism...

Sorry about that, distracted elsewhere for short while on secret LSS
business. Oops, what a give away. Still, I know you won't tell
anyone. Frankly, I slightly more worried about Min sniffing at your
cheese balls.

Born and bred Lancs until 7, raised Ches until 11 and now Ches living
for the past five years (albeit called Wirral), I have a split loyalty
and find that I like both. Cheshire was not my favourite as a young
person but then one's taste matures over the years.
Fortunately there are cheese sellers in Birkenhead market who offer a
good number of native cheeses in the approved manner and it's merely a
question of shopping around for the best deal of the day. No plastic,
either in payment or around the cheese. Life as it should be.

Neals Yard do (does?) mail order. If you're interested Robin (or

When it first came out, Private Eye had an article "The answers to our
Christmas Quiz" which went something like:
Number 3, the odd one out is (c) Lymeswold because all the rest are
cheeses.

When I visit a family in Nord pas de Calais , I always have to take a big
chunk of strong cheddar with me . They are enthusiastic about english-style
cheeses but can't buy them locally . The difference is perhaps that the
collective industries of France have fought to defend their domestic market
with government support, appellations , marketing co-ops etc. We just have
retail conglomerates and the remains of a hangup about British food left
over from the early post indusrialised era and the wartime blockades.

Neals Yard do (does?) mail order. If you're interested Robin (or

Paxton and Whitfield,Jermyn St.Nodnol do mail order I think,but not to Spain
unfortunately..they also used to have a Cheese Society (!),which would send a
selection of 4 or 5 different cheeses to you every month according to
season,for a fixed monthly payment..together with a very interesting
explanatory leaflet on each of the month's selections.They also boast that
they will source any British cheese for you,so the Blue Vinny seekers might
try that route...they don't use plastic wrappping or vacuum sealing
either,but good old fashioned wax paper. Steve my whey BHS

It happens to be my regular, but I daresay that many of you would not
count the stuff I eat as being real cheese.

Not true! The Cheshire cheese which I eat from Tesco is made by Joseph
Something-or-other at Whats-it-called farm and has a moist, crumbly
texture. I know 'cos it says so on the label. IIRC the Wensleydale is,
by some strange coincidence, made on the same farm, looks identical and
tastes very similar.

I've never had the pleasure of one of Cheshire, Lancashire or
Wensleydale but i have sampled their cheesey namesakes.

Ha-ha! You fell for my little diversionary tactic. You know, the good
thing about it only requiring four muscles to pull the trigger of a
sniper rifle is that I only have to incapacitate four muscles of my
attacker.
Don't worry, Min --- the effects will soon wear off, but the chains
remain in place until you tell me *everything* I want to know. If not...
then it's the Comfy Chair for you. <evil laugh>
