Britain's most dangerous annual tradition got conquered by a German YouTuber. Again.

Every spring, Gloucestershire rolls an eight-pound wheel of double Gloucester down a near-vertical hill and invites the public to chase it. Bones break. Grandmothers get knocked unconscious. 

Chris Anderson, the 23-time champion, came out of retirement to defend national honour and lost to a 23-year-old from Munich with a YouTube channel. 

We discuss what this says about Britain, whether English cheese is even worth the fractures, and how many likes it takes before we have to do it ourselves.
