It seems fitting that after a rather long hiatus during January that the first post of the New Year should concern two of our favourite things. Cheese. And Monopoly.

We were rather pleased to see that a new version of Monopoly has been submitted to Hasbro where cheese remains at the forefront of the game. Cottage cheese rightly takes the worst property in the game while Stilton takes the position of best at Mayfair.

But here I suspect ends the joy. What of the Chance cards and Community Chest ? Have they also been redesigned with the same care.

We hope so. It seems only fitting that a player should be rewarded handsomely if he or indeed she had won a cheese making competition.
