More groan-inducing madness from the UK.

Via The Sun:

A SCHOOL dinner lady has been sacked after accidentally serving pork to a Muslim pupil.

Alison Waldock, 51, made the mistake when seven-year-old Khadija Darr pointed to a gammon dish on the lunch menu and Alison put it on her plate.

The school’s headteacher saw the youngster about to tuck into the meat — which Muslims are not allowed to eat — and raised the alarm in the dinner hall.

And Alison, who had dished up meals for 11 years, was booted out after the school told the girl’s parents, who complained to catering firm chiefs.

A spokesman said: “Mistakes occasionally happen. I’m sure the overwhelming majority of Muslim parents would be understanding.”

Khadija’s parents Rumana and Zahid contacted bosses at caterers Lunchtime UK after hearing of the error at Queen Edith Primary School in Cambridge.

The firm then fired Alison for gross misconduct due to “negligence, carelessness or idleness”.
