England: The unknown land of cheese

Waterloo, which does not mean water closet; this is a historical but actually bland place in Belgium (Napoleon came, saw and lost). Waterloo: this is a pop song by the Swedish band Abba, which reinterprets the historical Waterloo as a term for a personal concept of a private defeat - and thus became a million-seller. Waterloo: But this is also a soft British cheese with a firm centre, which comes from Riseley (in the local language: "Rischley") in Berkshire.
