Are you quite sure of your spelling?

You can’t beat the British cheeses. I go out of my way to find them here . There is one called Wookey Hole we like and I like the sound of it,too. Sometimes we can get a good blue Stilton but often it is Danish blue masquerading as the same. Hey, should I start a cheese thread or maybe not, could be boring?

BlueBelle is correct.

GNHQ (whatever that is) is not interested in gaining ‘feedback’.

Well, the post from LilyGransnet shows that that is not the case.

black bomber ??!! what!
that sounds all kinds of wrong.
worse than plantation shutters. another thing i've never heard of

I sit in front of my plantation shutters whilst eating my Black Bomber. Should I be alarmed that I have both?

So, here is a delightful video that I found after reading a post in the garden thread about the story in the French past historic tense.

There are subtitles in both French and English.

The artwork is fantastic.

So a delightful video found serendipitously by reading this thread.

The thread to which I referred is as follows.

Hi all

As moderators, our job is to sift through the trickier, more contentious stuff on site - we actually do miss out on the brilliant stuff.. particularly when busy!

However, don't be fooled by the report button. You can hit report to shout 'good read' or 'worth sharing in the newsletter' or even 'this will make you chuckle'.

Trust me - we'd really appreciate it, and it's something that doesn't happen often. But we're here for the good as well as the bad, so never be afraid to share with us by hitting the report button.

Thank you for writing.

Thank you for the explanation.

Well everyone there is the opportunity. If you consider that having more than one thread for a language is a good idea and useful and that the idea of a café thread all in that language and a garden thread mainly in English to discuss the language and what is being said in the café thread so as to enable people to learn, then you have the opportunity to use the report facility to express your opinion to GNHQ.

Black Bomber is well worth trying, welbeck, it won best cheese in the UK.

Tintern is delicious too if you like cheese with added flavourings, in this case shallots and chives.

I buy black bomber from the farm shop if you want to talk about cheese. I love tintern but I cannot find it atm as I'm not going to supermarkets

You realise that you will probably trigger an algorithm and either MI6 or the Bomb Squad will be round GNHQ?

Love a lump of Black Bomber with a bit of celery, silver skin onions and crackers.

Do they sell it in any farm shops near you?

Yes, both are delish.

<<wails in despair at the thought>>

Actually threads do not have a report button.
The opening postof a thread has a report button as do all subsequent posts

So having redefined our terms, do we have to start all over again? ?????

I have read this one with increasing incomprehension.

I have no clue what's going on either! Even though I have contributed some rubbish.

It appears so annodomini. And they've since qualified that further by confirming that the report button can be used for letting them know if a thread is enjoyable, worthy of being included in their newsletter etc. All queries addressed.

And my GS' favourite cheese.

I haven't bought that since my DC were young.

I recognise that laughing cow, she looks like the leader of the pack, sorry herd, that escaped on to the motorway.

Alors! Beaucoup de bruit pour rien!

As I have not contributed to the French threads, I have read this one with increasing incomprehension. For it seems to me that HQ started a hare by simply informing the OP that there had been reports about said threads. It therefore seems to me that they simply though that OP (EP) had a right to know that reports had been made.

What a load of old toot
Sorry, that was in response to LilyGN’s post

Whatever did LilyGN say to cause you to be so rude and unkind FannyCornforth? She simply explained that the report button can be used for more than just making a complaint, something that may have addressed ElderlyPerson's OP in the first place.

I couldn't see anything in her post that deserved rudeness.

Well is it umbrage or perceived umbrage Flexagon

That's good to hear Lily but I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering what was so contentious about the French threads that has caused such umbrage today.
