    The Swiss have always stayed neutral. But their army has the best knives.

    Cut to interior of the cheese shop. Greek music playing as Mousebender enters. Two men dressed as city gents are Greek dancing in the corner to the music of a bouzouki. The shop itself is large and redolent of the charm and languidity of a bygone age. There is actually no cheese to be seen either on or behind the counter but this is not obvious. Mousebender approaches the counter and rings a small handbell. Wensleydale appears.WensleydaleGood morning, sir.MousebenderGood Morning. I was sitting in the public library on Thurmon Street just now, skimming through ‘Rogue Herries’ by Horace Walpole, when suddenly I came over all peckish.WensleydalePeckish, sir?MousebenderEsurient.WensleydaleEh?Mousebender(broad Yorkshire) Eee I were all hungry, like!WensleydaleOh, hungry.Mousebender(normal accent) In a nutshell. So I thought to myself, ‘a little fermented curd will do the trick’. So I curtailed my Walpolling activites, sallied forth and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles. (smacks his lips)WensleydaleCome again.Mousebender(broad nothern accent) I want to buy some cheese.WensleydaleOh, I thought you were complaining about the music!Mousebender(normal voice) Heaven forbid. I am one who delights in all manifestations of the terpsichorean muse.WensleydaleSorry?MousebenderI like a nice dance – you’re forced to.Quick cut to a Viking.Viking(broad Northern accent) Anyway.Cut back to cheese shop.WensleydaleWho said that?Mousebender(normal voice) Now my good man, some cheese, please.WensleydaleYes certainly, sir. What would you like?MousebenderWell, how about a little Red Leicester.WensleydaleI’m, afraid we’re fresh out of Red Leicester, sir.MousebenderOh, never mind. How are you on Tilsit?WensleydaleNever at the end of the week, sir. Always get it fresh first thing on Monday.MousebenderTish tish. No matter. Well, four ounces of Caer
