Anyone worked for Aldi?

A caution is NOT a conviction. If the form asks if you have ever been convicted then state no. However, if it asks "have you ever been convicted or cautioned for a criminal offense? then obviously you are going to have to own up to it.

You cannot be convicted without either pleading guilty or being found guilty.

How the question is worded makes a huge difference. Whilst it isn't a conviction, accepting a caution admits you commited the crime and the 'warning' was the punishment.

Nope, for a job subject to the rehabilitation of offenders act (the application form will tell you if it isn't), the answer to have you ever had a caution? is "no" to all simple police cautons as they become spent immediately. The answer to have you ever had a conviction is "no" if the conviction is spent (5 years for most non-custodial sentences). If they find out you have had a caution/conviction, and they choose to act on that information, they are acting unlawfully.
