Haven't had a Custard Slice in years! May have to indulge in a blast from the past v. soon.
Don’t get me wrong here, I like a custard slice as much as the next man, but they are nothing, NOTHING! compared to the Greggs custard caramel doughnut, the finest post pasty desert course in UK bakery / sandwich / cake shop history.

In answer to the O.P. - no they would not.

Hmmm .. that sounds like it could be heaven or hell. As it goes, I will be working in a building very near to a Greggs tomorrow morning.
I shall follow your advice and give it a go.

Or a rural town in this case.

You said they were coming up. They're not, Diwali was only a few weeks ago. As you demonstrate, people generally don't know when these festivals are so an as campaign based around them would be a flop.
As it happens, my work did a Diwali lunch as there are Hindus there and it was quite good. The guys did stompy dancing and the girls looked hot.
