I already guessed that but you said it had nothing to do with plants so I ignored herbs too.
Ziele, zioło?
Herbie is diminutive of herb.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]
How exactly? The Rwanda plan was phenomenally expensive and the numbers of migrants they planned to export per year was less than the daily arrivals by boat. It wasn't a plan it was an absolute joke. To date, no-one has come up with a credible solution. The Tories even managed to lose 17000 asylum seekers whose claims had been withdrawn on their watch and no-one has any idea where they are!
Amen.
But it will get MUCH worse under our new Socialist government.

I doubt they even think about the consequences of spreading misinformation. A good example of that misinformation is in post #304 where the idiot poster states that the Covid vaccine gets into a person's DNA. Absolute bollocks.
I suspect some of them have very little sense of shame and not much in the way of a conscience.

I caught measles at age 5, ended up hospitalised and almost died. I can still remember it.
You can make light of it but it's a serious disease which is on the increase because of idiot anti-vaxxers.

It's in different flavours too. In addition to the one in dark chocolate there's also a pineapple and rum marzipan log and a rum and raisin one.
The best ones though are the Lidl marzipan chocolate rounds. They come in orange, cherry, and plum and madeira flavours. They are to die for!
Oh God....

Of course they don't which is why potentially fatal diseases like measles are on the increase again:

Probably as many times as I asked how many kids dead from gunshot wounds are too many. Where's my answer?
I doubt they care about the amount of damage that anti-vax conspiracy theories do.

Lidl do a marzipan log in dark chocolate. Sadly, it's usually only at Xmas and Easter.

They usually do that as a way of avoiding answering the question. Especially if they're wrong. Plus, they don't appear to have any manners.

That's what I initially thought but in the UK you have to pull down on a handle which opens up somewhere to deposit the clothes, put the bag of clothes in, then push the handle upwards to 'drop' the clothes into the bin inside. Maybe that happens in the part of the bin that's obscured in the photo.
It must be a full container for old clothes.

I didn't think there were that many but I've tried quite a few. Wish I could buy just the coffee ones.
E Wedel Pawełek have a caffe latte chocolate bar but I've yet to find other coffee flavoured chocolates.
there are about two dozen or even more flavours.
