Oh dear god.

Dead easy Barfs, loads of recipes out there and books, my mother used to make cheese.

I have to agree, there is zero decent cheese in the UK, it all taste like plastic even in the specialist shops, Cheese on toast is one of my faves but not had any decent stuff for decades.

You jest Kev?

Get some decent Blue Stilton down you man, or any decent, strong English cheddar.

For Cheese on toast, a good Red Leicester is great.

Yeah thats bollox Kev. There are some fantastic cheeses in the UK to be fair. However me personally Im a fan of the raw milk cheeses and they are not big in the UK. However if you can get hold of a Baron Bigod which is basically a Brie De Meaux when its properly ripe its better than any actual French Brie de Meaux I ever tasted and its made in Suffolk! https://fenfarmdairy.co.uk/cheese/

As for making your own. Michelle bought me a kit for Christmas. I had to buy a load of other stuff but it was a complete disaster. Kitchen ended up like a milky curdy bomb site and all of it ended in the bin.

Of course you could stick to French Cheeses Kev, they are available here.

I'll send you some 'Laughing Cow'.

Doesn't work for me sadly, it's something to do with my taste buds , my docs over 30 years ago did some tests to see why food others like I find truly awful, seems I have so many more than is normal and can taste what others can't.
