After buying the potatoes, cabbage and baked beans from there, one can
proceed to a tool supplier to buy a Makita LS1013, DeWalt 708, Bosch
GCM 12SD or Metabo (Elektra Beckum) KGS305.

All of course at 10 times the price of the Aldi machine.

and ...


Any of these will fulfill the role of a proper sliding compound mitre saw.

Tempting proposition for the average DIY guy. £500 for a Makita or £50 for
an Aldi. Hmmm. Wonder what the average bloke wanting to cut a few deck
boards would buy?

That would depend on whether he wants to do a proper job or not.



Aldi may have something that can be boiled and processed to make
something that approximates to potato puree.

Is that why they won 8 quality food awards in 2007?

Microsoft received awards for corporate citizenship.......
