That's a lot of cheddar.

I assume this is not for personal use, how do you sell that much stolen cheese? Is it going overseas? Could a competitor do it, to raise the price of cheddar?

It's sad, because that's some of the only good food made there.

They might want to check up on Chester Cheetah’s whereabouts.

Cheese is a big deal in Europe. That's why it was stolen. You're probably right, though. The perps will most likely be caught. They stole too much cheese and will get snared in the resale market.

According to the BBC, the shop usually sells the Hafod Welsh for £12.90 (about 16.72) for 300g, the Westcombe for £7.15 (about $9.27) for 250g, and the Pitchfork for £11 (about $14.26) for 250g.

So they managed to convert pounds to dollars but not grams to pounds..?

So, the Ye National Cheese Emporium did not have cheddar, the single most popular cheese in the world?

20 tons is 2000x20=40,000 lbs. So about $10 a lb. Reasonable for specialty cheese.

Cleese: “…Do you have any cheddar? (He asked, expecting the answer ‘No.’)”

Palin: “Mmm…No. Sorry. Not today sir.”

Cleese: “No cheddar?!? It’s the most popular cheese in the world!”

Palin: “Not very popular ‘round these parts.”

Cleese: “Hmm. And what IS popular ‘round these parts’?”

Palin: “‘Illsdale, sir.”

Cleese: “Hillsdale is it? Very well, I’ll have some of that, then.”

Palin: “Oooh…I’m sorry.”

Cleese: “What now???”

Palin: “The cat’s eaten it.”

Cleese: “Has he?”

Palin: “She, sir.”

Cleese: “Tell me: how does this shop stay open?”

Palin: “Oh, it’s the best cheese shop in manor, squire!”

Cleese: “Explain the logic behind THAT statement!”

Palin: “Well…It’s so CLEAN, sir!”

Cleese: “It’s certainly devoid of any cheese!…”

I’ll bet that the shop is the one that was featured in Monty Python’s skit featuring John Cleese.....They were out of ALL cheeses.

That ain’t nothing, the US government stole 80,000 lbs of butter, because it wasn’t labeled as Dairy.
