Sky News reports that Aldi will be offering free period products to its customers:

Aldi has introduced free period products in customer and colleague toilets as part of a charity campaign in a UK supermarket first.

All in-store toilets will be fitted with fixtures providing free period products by the end of May.

Aldi released research showing 41% say they are unable to afford period products, with 30% forced to decide between them or other essential items like food or clothing.

Then just below the 'news' item above, we learn about a new, lunchtime 'meal deal':

A Gordon Ramsay Michelin-starred restaurant in London has launched a new four-course weekday set menu for lunch at £45 per person.

FNN wonders what percent of people who can't afford 'period products' can afford a £45 meal deal?

What a hilarious juxtaposition.

Which reminds us of the classic Mick Miller joke: I paid £38 for 'boneless chicken' at a top restaurant. I got a boiled egg.
