It's funny though, nobody bats an eyelid at Tesco etc selling clothes, hardware, electrical equipment etc. We seem to see Aldi and Lidl differently.

And Tesco etc don't dump most of their non-food items higgledy piggledy in great deep wire cages you have to rummage through like some bizarre version of a school fair treasure hunt, never knowing quite what oddity you might pull out ...

I 'bought' it to replace my floor mop bucket that had a broken handle which I threw out.

The new very clever folding bucket is yet to be used.

Perhaps because they're not displayed, just all in a big metal basket?

I bought a router bench. I then had to take it to my friends, who is a joiner to see what it was.

It was cheap and looks good in my shed. That's my excuse anyway

Your missing out big time.

You could have bought bike shoes or a sking helmet by now. If your lucky you might still be able to get a car Jack but they were going quickly.

Went into Lidl on Thursday for food stuff. Bought that no probs .......and a portable compressor. Thing is what the fuck is a portable compressor? Ì can carry it so I understand it's portable.

Reckon it's God's way of saying ladies should do the shopping.

I bought some multipack crisps in Aldi yesterday. Their equivalent of wotsits, frazzles and monster munch.

Opened a pack of the "frazzles" and there was just ONE lonely frazzle in the whole packet
