Y ou have to admire their chutzpah, if nothing else. Aldi, that is, the discount supermarket and their blatant embrace of the 'dupe,' own-brand labels that, at a glance, could pass for the rather more expensive market leaders. Nothing is safe from their just-about-legal sleight of hand, from Wotsits and Oreos to Doritos, Kellogg's Corn Flakes, even Nando's peri-peri sauce. In fact, Marks & Spencer were so incensed by Cuthbert the Caterpillar, Aldi's Colin the Caterpillar clone, that they took them to court in 2021, to 'protect' the good name of their chocolate sponge larval lepidoptera. An out-of-court agreement was reached, with both sides seemingly happy, allowing Cuthbert to crawl back on to the Aldi shelves shortly after. There's no doubt, though, who won the PR war. 'Cuthbert is free and looking forward to seeing all his fans again very soon!' trilled Aldi. 'Made by bakers. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

WHEN Natalie Clark's wedding day finally arrived after two years of planning, she had a nagging feeling about the future. As she walked down the aisle she knew, deep down, that she and her husbandto-be would not be together 'til death do us part. 'Did I think I'd be married for ever? No I didn't,' admits Natalie, 30, from Bingley, West Yorkshire. 'That's not to say there was anything wrong with my fiance there wasn't. I did love him.'But as I listened tearfully to the church music I'd chosen, I knew that we weren't going to be spending our retirement years together.And Natalie was right. Four years after their 2018 wedding, the couple divorced.You might well wonder why she didn't end the relationship before reaching the altar. Why she didn't hold out for a man she did want to spend the rest of her life with? The reason is that she didn't and still doesn't believe marriage for life is practical in this day and age In her mind, it wouldn't matter who the man was the eventual outcome would still be the same 'I think it's unrealistic to assume that marriage will be for ever,' Natalie admits. 'It's inevitable that things will change in a relationship over the years, no matter how much you love the other person at the start. 'I know of couples who are quite old, and it's obvious that they can't stand each other they stay married because that generation just puts up with it. Whereas my generation of women recognise that if we're not happy with something, we can do something about it. 'There's no harm in entering marriage without truly believing it will be for ever.' As counter-intuitive as this may sound, [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
