Went to do a biggish shop at Lidl earlier. Not much cheaper than elsewhere these days, it seems. Time was you could fill your trolley and the checkout girl would give you money to take it away.
After all that effort, this for tea should make up for it:
We'll have a glass of wine with our pizzas, because that's what we do these days
Followed by a lemon meringue pie, and later a big bar of fruit & nut chocolate made by some firm I've never heard of.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

Try a bar of the white chocolate with strawberry chips in that Lidl do, it's lovely!

I'll look out for that one, white chocolate is Mrs. P's favourite.

Loath white chocolate. Only eat plain chocolate with 70% cocoa solids. Any chocolate with more than 80% cocoa tastes bitter to me.

Just to confirm. I have not received £35,000 from any BBC presenter.

When I got home at 1pm it was the hot topic on Sky News. Two hours later they were still bangin' on about it. How they could fill two hours of telly with out naming the presenter, the 'victim', or even what the pictures were of I don't know. Maybe I should have turned the volume up. And I bet if I switched over to Sky News now they'd still be milking the story.

It's being 'pushed' by The Sun.
Given what they said after the Hillsborough tragedy, I wouldn't trust a word they say.

Is it not just their own brand that they rename to make you think it's not? Sainsbury's and Tesco's started doing the same thing when they realised Lidl and Aldi were gaining market share by doing it.Went to do a biggish shop at Lidl earlier.

Doesn't seem likely to me, but who knows? The world economy works in mysterious ways. You get cases of companies as diverse as car manufacturers and Makita/DeWalt/Milwaukee taking products manufactured for them by other firms and putting their name on them. "Badge engineering" they call it. This would be the opposite of that.
In any case, the fruit & nut bar wasn't much cop. The chocolate itself was fine, but the nuts were like something I might find in my own garden, after it had passed through some of the local wildlife.
