By not giving the customer the best shopping experience they can, they are the ones
Not showing respect.
Re: The "High Street" experience
What is it with some ordinary people's tendency to pick on harmless people or things they think are "common"?
Someone posted on here a while back that it was "common" to mount a flat-screen TV on a wall. WTF else are you supposed to with a flat-screen TV? Put on a pedestal in the middle of the room?
My Mrs shops at Aldi from time-to-time. They always have good, cheap produce and snacks etc that you can't get anywhere else. It's also good for meat if you're entertaining. I'm not so keen on shopping at Aldi myself because when I shop, I like to be able to get everything I need at the same place. But I have no problem with the Mrs shopping there. Or anyone else for that matter.

Is this a piece of your brain?
I've always been partial to amphibious landing-craft shaped chips myself.

I assume this is a purposeful wind up post and wouldn’t take any notice of it

If herds of wildebeest are seeping majestically, I suggest a vet, antibiotics and closing the place!

Guess. Less than a month and 58 posts, not bad going is it?
Re: The "High Street" experience
I use Lidl and Aldi regularly. My only problem with both is that by the time I have browsed the middle aisles I often forget what the wife asked me to get and I come out with a socket set or pack of angle brackets.

No. Still *confused* I genuinely can't tell if you're being serious or trying to intimidate.

The middle isles are always great :thumbup:
Nice Filled donuts in Lidl's

:hehe: :hehe: you may believe it is possible to intimidate a reasonable adult on a system as remote as the internet but I certainly don't.

Almost half yours in the same time. Imagine what it will be like when he gets up to speed!

What did you think of it?
Am all over Aldi/Lidl/hb but that particular lager, while not bad, doesn’t cut it compared to peroni which it’s trying to be. Was quite disappointed and I’m easily pleased :-(
One of them I think it’s Aldi (I mix up what’s come from where) does one in a six pack of bottles that’s dressed up like Heineken - wasn’t bad at all

Cyril, you make my point perfectly
On the board 17 days and in that time 50 odd posts; accused someone of being dickensian; another of being passive aggressive; and told a third (or maybe one of the other 2) to F*ck off.
If you bother to look back to when I joined, (I wouldn't bother it'll bore you to tears) I don't think you will find I was so prolific, nor almost anyone in their first month or so, nor so "in your face". Neither did I join and immediately start being rude or insulting to people
It's almost as if he knows who he is talking to, as if he's been here before.
Just my thoughts, and they're not worth considering. :hehe: Forget it.

Hey. I really don't need this. I told no-one to F*ck off (it was a play on words; the F=fail and the bracketed (off) was referring to an attempt at humour not directed at a person (if it came across badly then I apologise - but to the OP). How is accusing anyone of being Dickensian or calling out passive aggressiveness so bad?
But you really are the one that's being scary here. It's like being trolled by the 'thought-police'. I realise I'm the noob but in my very first post I mentioned I'd been a lurker for years so have been reading this board for a long time. I've not been on any form of social media for almost a decade and this is the first time I've commented on anything due to a degenerative neurological disease that's robbed me of many taken-for-granted communication skills. I put all this information in my profile to be as open as honest as possible.
It's actually pretty horrible of you to act so mean and as if you are the gatekeeper to this board and says so much more about you than it does me. If you had a problem why didn't you have the balls to contact me directly?
Your post is far worse, to me, than anything you're accusing me of. I'm genuinely quite shocked and find it really upsetting. But I doubt you'll care or even give it a second thought.
I was feeling pretty good after our second half performance tonight until I read your comment. I don't need anyone else making me feel this bad or unwelcome. Life is hard enough as it is.
*signing off*.
