A very queer turn of events almost interrupted this year’s annual cheese rolling festival on Cooper’s Hill. The traditional get together, where all the contestants can enjoy a nice bit of cheese in a locally made bun was almost thwarted, when it was discovered the buns had been pinched.

Following the Cheese rolling contest that consists of rolling a cheese down a concave hill and then trying to beat it to the bottom, often leaving several people injured, there's the traditional get together where all the contestants can enjoy a nice bit of cheese in a locally made bun. However, this year just before the event started it was discovered that the buns (kept in a secret location) had been stolen. So far the Bun Bandits have yet to be caught but police assure us, here at the Cheese Times, that they are leaving no crevice unturned or stone unpoked.

If this story were to end here it would be a very sad tragedy for the world of cheese indeed, however, a group of local horticulturists were also upon the hill that day attempting to beat the world record for ‘Worlds steepest garden’ and were planning on celebrating with the worlds biggest bun fight or ‘bun bashing’ should they win. As it happens their attempt had failed due to their garden being totally destroyed by a rogue cheese and they happily donated their buns to replace those previously ‘had away’ by the bun bandits and a gay time was had by all.
