Sometimes – or every day for some people – there’s nothing better than heading to your local Greggs and chomping down on a chicken bake, bacon and cheese turnover or maybe even a vegan sausage roll if you’re feeling particularly wholesome, so spare a thought for the guy who thought he was going to do just that but ended up experiencing something completely different.

A man named Paul – who apparently didn’t want to share his surname – from Hull stepped out to Greggs for his regular beef and vegetable lunchtime pasty but was a bit worried when he thought it looked a different shape to usual and weighed a bit less. His worst fears were confirmed when he bit into it and there was nothing actually in there: it was just an empty pasty.

Here’s what Paul had to say about the ordeal/tragedy (his words not mine):

On my way back to work, I bit into it and realised that it had no filling in it at all.

I was quite deflated. I paid £1.85 for a shell – a very disappointing shell. I showed my friends and they all laughed at me.

I was quite annoyed in the end as I didn’t have time to go back, so I ended up without any lunch. You just wonder, how did that get out on the shelf?

I’ll still be heading down to Greggs though as it’s my favourite, I’ll just be checking the weight now.

They can trick me once, but they won’t trick me twice.

Whilst that does sound vaguely annoying for Paul, I think that it’s not as big as an issue as he’s making out as there are probably millions of Greggs pasties that get served every day in this country and this is the first time that we’ve ever heard of anything like that happening. No real need to contact the papers but at least he isn’t trying to sure Greggs or anything and seems to just be getting on with it. Seems like a solid geezer.
