Oh, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast this

week coming to you from Nodrigam!

My name is Dan Schreiber and I am sitting here with Anichezinski, Drew Hunter Murray, and

James Harkin, and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite

facts from the last seven days and in no particular order, here we go.

Starting with you, James Harkin.

Okay, my fact this week is that in 1766 there was a cheese ryer to Nottingham where the

mayor of Nottingham was knocked over by a large cheese.

So was the cheese rioting?

How did that work?

So what it was is, I mean I'm preaching to people who know all about this in Nottingham,

I'm sure.

But this was a goosefair, you all know what the goosefair is, right?

And basically things became tense when some rude lads engaged several Lincolnshire

traders who had purchased up to 6,000 of cheese.

These aren't my words, by the way, I'm reading.

And basically what they didn't want to happen is that those nasty people from Lincolnshire

come and get all the cheese and then there's no cheese for people from Nottingham.

So then that kind of started a bit of a riot and then suddenly there were crowds running

around, they were grabbing cheeses and rolling them down the streets.

So they're not like little baby bells or slices of cheese like you get now.

They're big wheels of cheese, right?
