A worker at Buckingham Palace has been sacked for trying to sell a Christmas pudding on Ebay.
Ben Church, 25, who worked as a property administrator at the palace, was dismissed after royal officials learned he had put the Fortnum & Mason pudding, a gift from Queen Elizabeth, up for auction.
A palace spokeswoman confirmed that an employee had faced disciplinary action over a Christmas pudding. "Someone was dismissed but we are not giving out further details," she said, adding it was a tradition of the queen to give every member of staff a pudding as a Christmas present."He has been sacked for committing a security breach."
How mean and petty
