I was in Pets at Home in Daybrook the other day as my daughter needed biscuits for her dog. 

I took the bag to the checkout to be met with...... Have you got a Loyalty Card ?  No, and I don't want one I replied. I was then told the benefits of owning one. I still said no. Would you like to donate 50p for unwanted pets at Christmas? Ok I said. 

How many units of 50p would you like to donate sir ? Well one of course I replied ! Well you can donate as much as you like sir ! 

Just give me the bleddy biscuits for Christs sake. It was like the Spanish Inquisition.

Next time, it'll be Wilkos for the stuff.
