Real Yorkshire Wensleydale is usually shaped into a variety of weights in a range of moulds from a small flat disc known as a "truckle" that is highly pressed, and preserved in wax, to several larger cheeses—it has an acidic-honeyed flavour to it.
Gloucester cheese is a traditional, unpasteurised, semi-hard cheese which has been made in Gloucestershire, England, since the 16th century. Double Gloucester is made from only whole milk.
Double Gloucester is allowed to age for longer periods than Single Gloucester, and it has a stronger and more savoury flavour. It is also slightly firmer. Both types are produced in round shapes, but Double Gloucester rounds are larger.
Double Gloucester cheese is also used every spring for the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake, a dangerous sport that takes place on a steep Gloucestershire hillside.
Remembered the poll this time ;o)
Ooo, did anybody go to the cheese rolling this year? I did. Greatly recommended bit of fun, even if you don't throw yourself down.

it's trickier than it looks, remembering the poll !
The throwing yourself down a hill looks a bit risk / reward imbalanced to me. A bit like going on big brother or the apprentice.

double is my personal favourite at the moment, being a bit creamier than red leicester, but those grinning cartoon goons might just win it for the yorkshire cheese.
The presentation of these two seems decidedly biased, Wensleydale barely getting two miserable lines of introduction and Double Gloucester two paragraphs of praise... you're just Blackadder trying to sell his house...
E: Well, what we're talking about in, erm, privy terms is the very latest in front-wall, fresh-air orifices, combined with a wide-capacity gutter installation below.
M: You mean you crap out of the window.
E: Yes!

But look at the endorsement from wallace and gromit ! I'd say that evens the whole thing.
And I had to copy the explanation from wiki for the cheese run, otherwise the picture would have made no sense.
