No, this is not a bunch of youths fleeing the latest outbreak of knife violence or even questioning by ant-terrorist police but the equally lunatic practice held on the bank holiday each year at Tetbury in Gloucestershire of racing a cheddar down a steep hill. But if you look closely on the top right, the cheese, that big beige wheel, itself is about to catch up fast...the cheese usually wins, although technically the winner in blustering winds of up to 50mph and hailing rain was, Christopher Anderson from Brockworth, who predictably perhaps left the Cooper's Hill site in an ambulance after appearing to be knocked out as he descended the slope in pursuit of a Double Gloucester cheese. The 19-year-old was later released from hospital with just cuts and bruises clutching his prized cheese.
