Food prices keep going up, but it's not yet as bad as it could be - Nottingham Cheese Riot I look forward to the forthcoming Colesworth Riots of Christmas 2023.
I lived in Nottingham for many years before moving to Melbourne and I had no idea about the Cheese Riot! Thanks for posting :)
My pleasure! This sort of history really pleases me - like the Great London Beer Flood. The sort of history that makes you laugh and makes you think. Speaking of which - here is the 2023 Ignobel prizes. list of ignobels
One of my absolute faves and I missed them this year. Don't miss the electric chopsticks and the zombie spiders.

I was hoping the riot was last week 😸
