More proof that the Brits are the keepers civility

It seems that one of the many ways our friends across the pond celebrate the coming of spring is by chasing a slab of cheese down a hill.

Teenager Chris Anderson, who won one of four cheese rolling races contested Monday, was taken to hospital on a stretcher, clutching his winning slab of cheese to his chest.

"The pain was worth it," Anderson said. "This cheese is going straight in a cupboard when I get home. It's definitely not for eating."

Yes, quite civil indeed.
