Which is why it’s safe for children to eat GG13!

Potent stuff, Christmas puds.

I had one confiscated at security once when flying because it resembled semtex on the camera. 💣

Can they buy trifles before 10 am in Scotland?

Don't mention the classroom doors thread!

I might be missing something, I have never seen anyone drunk on Christmas pudding…

I thought this was an early April Fool thing when I saw it on the news this morning.

😂😂😂. Obviously no cooks present when this law was passed

Apparently in Scotland the (new?) law is that Christmas puddings containing alcohol cannot be bought until 10am! You couldn’t make this up could you? I thought alcohol ‘burns off’ anyway during cooking - leaving just the flavour?

At a self checkout in a supermarket in north Glasgow yesterday a couple tried to scan their pudding and the screen flagged up ‘assistance required’. Aargh! Nice early shop scuppered. New SNP law apparently.

Parallels with that amusing thread I started about sawing off the bottom of school classroom doors during Covid comes to mind!
