Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
I dont' agree more of the typical elitist crap you see these days. i hope they get boycotted
ReplyDeleteSpeaking from experience, Internet Explorer 7 is just terrifying. I mean, it's not secure, at all, for starters. Imposing a tax that forces people to use a modern, safe browser is a wonderful idea. People probably didn't switch because they didn't know they had to, or because they're too lazy. Now, I know my fair share of lazy people, and even they would rather spend the 5~ minutes to get another browser properly set up and running than pay. On a side note, surprised/happy to see Opera listed!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet most people still using IE7 can't upgrade. Usually because of corporate lockdowns or simply because they don't know that they can.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a bad thing because I can still remember being locked out of banking and local government sites because I wasn't using IE even though Mozilla was rendering he website perfectly.
Actually I'll bet most of their IE7 traffic is Mozilla pretending it is IE7 because that is what you had to do.
Well, they're not being locked out, and the notice does show them what they can do, so I still think it is a net positive. And if corporate lockdown is to blame, well... this is a bargin retail site...
ReplyDeleteOkay ... so you are browsing from your Linux / Android / iOS / Mac box and you encounter a website that wants to charge you 6.8% more because you are not using IE 8/9. Are you happy then? Of course it helpfully points you to the microsoft site where you can download the latest version of IE ... does that make you feel any better?
ReplyDeleteAnd as for costs us more to support that is bollocks 8-(
Actually a better example would be if I was using Netscape4.3 or Firefox2. I do see your point, but the inherit incompatibilities of IE7 with the standards, and even with later versions of IE, combined with the security issues with it do make it a problem. Even Microsoft say so.
