Re: Unidentified Building

Hi Stewy

On your comment about the 'Cheese Rolling Thingy' on Coopers Hill on the outskirts of Gloucester, I have been to that a few times, my family all live in Gloucester and it is crazy The hill is so steep and very rough bumpy grass and the contestants (crazy people) run down and just end up going head over heals and there is a row of St Johns Ambulance and other medics at the bottom trying to catch people and there is always casualties They do it all for the glory of a roll of cheese (don't know the proper name for a large roll of cheese) and their name in the paper! It gets very large crowds and is certainly an experience, can't imagine what tourists visiting must think of the British My auntie has a B&B in Tewkesbury not far from there so pm me if you need details
