Has anyone else had this foisted on them? Apart from anything else, foodstuffs in the UK cost too damn much as it is without "donations" tagged on!

* I dunno, something my late maternal granddad said once. Though I like it as an exhortation, I never did find out what it meant!

You mean this?

This move is part of Lidl’s fundraising efforts for the NSPCC, having recently extended its partnership with the charity by five years.
