Caganers have always made me chuckle when we first discovered them back in 2005, but the biggest and most complex nativity scene, the Belen Bancaja, this year came to Elche and it is without the dumper... which is a shame, but understandable given the anal-retentiveness of the Madrid crowd. In this ever-increasing world of delicate three step political correctness, score one for Catalonia. 10/10 for the article, Gavin. Footnote: can't wait to re-visit SA again... people are great, sights fantastic, and of course the top quality food: "steaks the size of a small child and you can cut it with a toothpick". Never mind Charlize tub-thumping for the World Cup, foodies should be heading to SA regardless of the sports. Heck, I'd kill just for a a Checkers Steak Pepper pie!

It put me in mind of advice once given me to deal with arrogant bosses with delusions of grandeur. Simply think of them with their pants round their ankles taking a squat like everyone else whenever they try to lord it over one and, it really works to restore the karma. Perhaps the caganer signifies that we are only human? I rather like that addition. Not being Christian and not having a nativity scene I think I shall built myself one tonight, with just a caganer taking centre stage. Thank you Mr Foster and of course the Spaniard(s) who came up with the brilliant idea. Only human. Excellent post.
