A
cheese maker has been told by police she may be liable for legal action if she
supplies Gloucester’s famous annual cheese rolling.
The traditional event involves
revellers chasing a 7lb (3kg) wheel of Double Gloucester down Cooper's Hill.
Diana Smart, who makes the cheese
for the event at her Churcham farm, said she had been warned by police about
her responsibilities as organiser.
She said: “It made me feel pretty
angry... there’s not a lot we can do.”
This is nonsense don’t
blame Mrs Smart, blame the crazed lunatics that think chasing a wheel of cheese
down a ridiculously steep hill at clearly dangerous speeds constitutes a good way
to pass the time.
If they want to risk
breaking their ankles, legs, arms, neck etc. then that’s their prerogative, and
if someone were to seriously injure themselves I don’t see how the blame lies
with anyone other than that individual.
And
frankly if someone does seriously injure themselves then it serves them right
for being stupid enough to take part.
