      In Spain they have the La Tomatina Festival where they throw tomatos at each other, well this is a good thing. If The Brits toss cheese in there and the French toss their delicious bread in there, maybe the Germans can toss Wurst and then bake it all to make Pizzas. The Americans can deliver them during halftime of the Super bowl. Everyone wins.

    I lived in Brockworth in Gloucester for 10 years and could see the hill out of my window. I went to it a few times.
    A friend of mine used to have a house at the bottom and they used to crash into his fence if they didn't stop in time or get caught by someone.
    There's a pub nearby called The Cheese Rollers 😋
    I find it crazy how our local tradition/competition, which I've always taken 'as is' and not really thought much about, is known around the world and people find it so shocking/amusing 😂

    The first written evidence of cheese rolling is found from a message written to the Gloucester town crier in 1826; even then it was apparent the event was an old tradition, and is believed to be at least six hundred years old. (from wikipedia)
    Two possible origins have been proposed for the ceremony. The first is said that it evolved from a requirement for maintaining grazing rights on the common. The second is pagan origins for the custom of rolling objects down the hill. It is thought that bundles of burning brushwood were rolled down the hill to represent the birth of the New Year after winter. Connected with this belief is the traditional scattering of buns, biscuits and sweets at the top of the hill by the Master of Ceremonies. This is said to be a fertility rite to encourage the fruits of harvest.

    Happy birthday young lady. Some if the people saying this is crazy and dangerous probably skydive and think it's fun. It's a matter of perspective. I was fishing in a fliat tube by our airport and a skydiver came down to talk. He asked mw if that tube was for keeping me from falling down in the water. His faced turned very pale when I told him that it does help especially in 20-30 feet of water. He said I was crazy for going out over my head. He showed me the water wings he had attached in case he landed in the lake. I pointed out that if my tube gets a keak I can swim to shore but if his parachute fails, he can't fky. Our perspective of what's crazy are just different.

It looks ridiculous, hilarious, painful, and fun. Edited to add: Amazing Race Season 14 in 2009, the cheese wheels each weighed around 50 lbs (22.7kg) and it does appear to have been in Switzerland. Bonne Anniversaire! ~Be Blessed

    Bonjour, British eccentricity at it's weirdest , I've never witnessed it myself,it seems there's a thin line between courage & stupidity , surely nobody' s gonna eat that cheese are they 🤭 Britain has its fair share of such traditions, snokering in the mud ,they probably go back centuries when people had to think up ways to entertain themselves, but Gloucestershire does have beautiful countryside & villages, you might also be interested in warrior Princess jousting challenges , they also take place on rivers in France.

    PS:
    That 'Police Inspector' was talking UTTER bollocks. But - like most 'policemen' - he has a VERY limited understanding of English Common Law ! People like that should stick to traffic-control, and dealing with drunks.
