Now that would be cruel and unusual punishment, or whatever the Merkins
call it.

Sorry, that's just not good enough. Have you done a full cost/benefit
analysis? Have you taken into account the distress caused by visiting an
Aldi store? Loss of self esteem can endanger your mental health, which
could increase your medical insurance premiums. There are many factors
to take into account when making a buying decision, and I fear you may
have overlooked many of them on this occasion.

How do you know?

You must have experience to say that - why did you visit an Aldi store?

I don't mind it.

I bought several of their diamond discs, but all but two are still in
the packet - they seem to last very well.

Now come on, Guy, you should be buying them from Asprey's - you get what
you pay for, you know, and you meet a far higher class of criminals,
pimps and drug dealers in Bond Street than you do in wherever these
frightful Aldliddo so-called shops are.

A few weeks ago I bought in Aldi for around £12 a step drill set complete in
wooden box. Great value and they work well enough.

I have no problem with Aldi and Lidl stuff. You get more than what you pay
for.
