"We're encouraging shoppers to visit the shop, pay a £1 registration fee to Comic Relief, and fill in a 'brie-f' for with their awful cheese joke.

"We'll look after the pun 'Caerphilly' and at the end of the weekend, we'll send the rejuvenated wordplays off to a brighter future at Comic Relief, with an additional £1 from the shop - if they're in 'Gouda' enough shape to travel."
