on ebay. I don't even really like christmas pudding plus my auntie always sends down a christmas pudding to have at mum and dad's. Have seen some going for £100+. I bought it to have boxing day with inlaws but am sure they'd be happy with a nice M&S one.

Have realised this is my second aibu in a day. This is the last one from me for a long time.

If you can get £100 then go for it.

YANBU - sell it, get another one if you want for boxing day, but I tend to find no one really wants Christmas pudding on boxing day as it's a bit samey as the day before.

Tesco have their finest ones on sale at the mo.

Fuck me sideways! How much was it to buy? I wish I bought one now, but I thought "urgh, I don't like that much orange". Stupid middle class twats paying £100 for a Christmas pudding that's in vogue!

YANBU! £100 for a christmas pudding? Sell it I say. Who are these mugs paying that sort of money for a dessert?

What is this £100 Christmas piddingnof which you speak? Surely not. Was it actually hand made by Heston?

Good God - yes, sell it. If people are stupid enough to pay that much then you might as well take advantage of the fact that they are morons.

Give the in-laws an M&S one with a clementine on the side!

My mum was desperate for one but they're sold out everywhere. Now I know its because ticket tout-esque greedy fuckers are selling them on eBay.

It's the posh one with the candid orange in the middle. It is supposedly very tasty (according to my friend who works at waitrose and tasted it in the staff dining room last week!). It cost me £13.99 which is steep but for special treat I thought ok.

Right you've convinced me. I'll call it karma for the ridiculous go go pet fiasco I got fleeced carried away with on ebay last year Blush.

The mere thought of a whole candied orange in the middle makes me want to throw up.
