I haven't spent a penny with the BHF since they started campaigning for smoking in cars to be banned and cigarettes to be sold in plain packaging.
Stop spending our donations on lobbying the government and treating adults like children and I might start shopping with you again.
Until then, there are many other worthy charity shops where I can spend my cash,
