Is It true that the cheese mines of the Cheddar Gorge face closure due to cheep foreign imports?

Answer 1

In my view it is scandalous. The NCB (National Cheese Board) have run the mines into the ground, and not provided up to the minute equipment like high speed cheese drills and tungsten cocktail sticks. It's not just Cheddar Gorge either - thousands of cheeseminers in Wensleydale, the Stilton fields of Derbyshire, Gloucester, Gloucester (double Gloucester) and Ilchester are facing the sack. At least hard line union leader 'Red' Leicester is putting pressure on the government.......

Answer 2

No it is not due to the cheap imports that is causing the mine to close, it is the threat from the Edam and Gouda Mafia from Holland that has put up the protection racket costs and now Cheddar Gorge Bush cant afford to pay and have to close. However, there is hope of forming an alliance with the Red Leister Army and the little known ASDA special "Seriously Strong Cheddar" (for added muscle) to counter the terroristic threats from the dutch cheese mafia and ensure the survival of the cheese mines of England.

Answer 3

Well now that they have tapped into that new Glacier Swiss Cheese from the mines in the Alpes ..... and because its so cold there they don't have the mice or rat infestations common in local mines - what did you expect to happen????

Answer 4

Yes, the same thing has happened to the treacle pits of Knotty Ash, and the Black Pudding Quarry in Bury.

Answer 5

It is TRUE as they were invaded by Volkswagen BEETLES.

They forestalled the (cheep, cheep) foreign bird flu virus invasion.

Answer 6

Yes the mines were over run with mutant mice.

Answer 7

Haven't a clue!!
