    I'm not going to admit that those 3 are just the mature cheddars. I also have little 'flavoured' ones (stilton+apricot etc), parmesan for cooking, smoked ones for eating chunks of just because. I'm also not going to admit I have a whole shelf in my fridge just for cheese... :D 
    I like cheddar and sometimes treat myself to a nice bit of smoked applewood (£14/kg), but am usually happy enough with Aldi's (£6.98/kg), however that M&S cheese sounds like it might be worth a try. It's priced at £4.25 on Ocado (£7.73/kg).

    Main reason for this reply though is just to commend you on the highly impressive amount of cheese in your house!

    Sure I’d give up me car before I gave up cheese!

    I looked for double Gloucester cheese and chive wotsit but they - Lidl- only had it in slices (hmmm…) but I lifted a pack anyway so there’s them in there now too. 

    Well you’d not want to run short! 😆
    I removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.

    Yep Marks’ is deffo worth the extra, it’s a beautiful cheese. The Lake District one was perfectly good too, can’t remember where I got it but I think it might have been Morrisons.

    Our favourite Cheddar is Barber's 1833 Vintage Reserve 2.99 for 190G from Watts Farms. I find that supermarket mature Cheddar is so salty that it ruins recipes.

    Not a budget buy but a luxury one that tastes amazing - Black Bomber by Snowdonia cheese company. First had it from one of those cheese wedding cakes, found it in Waitrose since.

    Oh Yes, lovely. I first found it in a garden centre "farm shop" Not budget but ideal one for a treat, can arrive in small waxed portion should you fancy giving one as a gift

    Yes, I'm not sure if it's exclusive, but Morrisons definitely sell the Lake District cheese.
