I wasn't under the impression I was being victimised! What gave you that idea?
The way you were ranting about how sick you were of supermarkets doing this to you, and how it couldn't possibly be just a coincidence -- it sounded like you felt it was a personal affront to you and your tastes in food!
To be honest I don't think your experience is unusual -- everybody finds that supermarkets stop stocking (or companies stop making) the things they like from time to time. Sainsburys stopped doing the croissant dough that I liked, and (years ago now) St Clements (now Barr I think) stopped doing the cola I liked, and EVERYBODY puts aspartame in EVERYTHING (I'm particularly annoyed about Vimto), and Schweppes stopped doing 'Schizan' (and had started putting saccharin in it anyway), and you can't get Cherry 7Up in big bottles any more, and ... I could go on. But generally I find something else I like instead eventually. But then I'm not really a creature of routine when it comes to food. <shrug>
I'm never entirely sure about the Cambridge Cheese Shop. I've been in there a couple of times and they tend to have a big display full of nothing I've ever so much as heard of
Try something new? You might find a new cheese that you like even more than the ones you can't get any more. :) Okay, so you don't know, but you can tell from looking at a cheese whether it's hard/soft/blue/etc. (if you have particular preferences or whatever-the-opposite-of-preferences-is for any of those), and I'm sure they'd be happy to answer questions (and possibly let you taste stuff before buying). And you can always just buy very small pieces of things if you're not sure about them. (Sainsburys/TescOS deli is good for that too, but their selection is a bit variable.)
Hmm. I'd intended to imply that the problem (if any) was that my taste in food was inconveniently nonstandard, not that I'd been personally affronted. (In particular, I thought it ought to be obvious that my last paragraph was meant in a Murphy's Law sense rather than a genuine they're-out-to-get-me sense.) Perhaps I didn't communicate as well as I'd intended.
"TescOS"? Does that sell Blue Cheese of Death? :-)
