    I have a feeling their next crime will be hijacking a truck full of crackers or possibly a winery heist.

    I understand the desire to steal cheddar. Sometimes I stare longingly at the large blocks in my local cheese shop.

    But you can’t give in to intrusive thoughts, people.

    Does anyone currently know James May’s whereabouts now that Andy Wilman is presumably no longer keeping tabs on him?
