Indsiputable. But a chip barm might have tempted him.

Unless the chips were fried in lard.

Beef dripping is acceptable I think.

I sense an awful lot of googling one upmanship going on as this thread has developed historical themes! Lol

Oh no the Church has got involved this thread will only go one way :-(

djsmudge has been busy;

Simon Richards, chief executive of the right wing Freedom Association, tweeted: “Please boycott @GreggsOfficial to protest against its sick anti-Christian advent calendar.

“What cowards these people are: we all know that they would never dare insult other religions! They should donate every penny of their profits to @salvationarmyuk.”

Christians on Twitter said the advert was disrespectful. “I’m glad Christians kicked off and Greggs apologised,” wrote one Twitter user. “No other religion would stand for that nonsense.”

If people want to get all uppity about Christmas they should start with the ridiculous commercialism that we are all subjected to from about mid September to January, and stop whingeing about a Gregs sausage roll.

Yes and this stunt puts huge pressure on millions of poor parents who will now have to stump-up their hard-earned cash for one of these over-priced savoury delicacies which will no doubt become this years "must have" toy for all the kiddies.

I wonder if the Pagans were outraged when the Christians hijacked their winter festival?

I bet the Pagans wouldn't have said no the odd sausage roll.
