I shall be heading down to London on Friday for this (just in case you missed my 17,000 tweets on the subject) and I feel I should warn anyone planning on using the West Coast Main line that I’m bringing down some Criffel for a friend: a fine cheese, which supports a good cause but – more importantly – generally guarantees me a carriage to myself. Even (I’ve tried it) on the Victoria line.
Sorry about that.






I don’t know how tasty the cheese is, but the spirit and business principles of the people who make it go down very well. Giving gainful employment to the special needs community, and putting out an award winning product — That’s my kind of win/win situation. And guaranteeing you a seat on the train is sprinkles on the cake.
It tastes a lot better than it smells, I can tell you!
