Greggs - flaky, and not just the pastry!

You do sometimes wonder about people's sanity, don't you?  Who on earth would think it appropriate to replace the baby Jesus in a nativity scene with a sausage roll?  And yet, that is what has happened on Gregg's advent calendar.  Now, an advent calendar doesn't just suddenly appear out of the blue - it must have been in preparation for weeks, months probably, and must have been seen and checked by many people.  So this was not simply a mental aberration by one person - more a case of corporate stupidity.  And as has been pointed out, the basic sacrilege is compounded by the fact that it is a sausage roll - pork, which is an unclean meat for Jews.
