A55 closes due to burning cheese

Claire Hill, Western Mail

CHEESE caused the shutdown of part of an expressway in the early hours yesterday.

For more than four hours the eastbound carriageway of the A55 was closed at Colwyn Bay, North Wales, after the cargo of cheese on an Irish lorry was set alight by heat from a burst tyre.

Three fire crews put out the flames.

??? Welsh rarebit/rabbit springs to mind ??? any other suggestions (NOT THAT ONE!)
