Today's British Cheese Board (it's just occurred to me that 'cheese board' is a really awful pun. Why didn't I get that before?) -- ah-hem, today's British Cheese Board cheesy fact of the day (from my leaflet):
 
We consume over 300,000 tonnes of cheese at home in a year. In total we eat about 90kg of cheese per person per year - that's 25gms per day - less than half the amount of cheese consumed by Europeans.
 
Sorry, is this fact trying to turn it into some kind of patriotic duty to consume more cheese?
