Stuff like bread and milk is that cheap you wonder what the catch is, taste it and find out :( We've got a Lidl as well, just looked like an Aldi clone when I walked through it, didn't even bother to buy anything. Morrisons is just a waiting room for the funeral directors by daytime, clumps of depressed looking old folk standing in big groups in strategic positions blocking the good aisles, by night it turns into a haven for 20 and 30 something couples pushing kids round in trollies looking for the latest trendy breakfast cereal. Safeway is an odd one, it appears to have 2 shift patterns, before 6PM all the checkouts are fully manned by 60 year old women, there husbands stacking the shelves but after that time they all morph into teenagers and shut all bar 2 tills and the fag/lottery counter. Me? I buy my groceries at a variety of mini marts and corner shops as and when I remember I need something. -- James... www.jameshart.co.uk |

Its a term wrongly used to describe all gypsies. My understanding is that they are gypsies that have disgraced their clan in some way and have been outcast from the clan, true gypsies loath them. At one time gypsies were very well thought of in the southern counties. They were all skilled in some craft, from rat catcher to carriage builders.. They were employed by local farmers for there skills in such things as sharpening tools, vermin control etc., and went back year after year. True gypsies were/are hardworking generous people. mouse "Lurch" wrote in message ...

I bought one the first time it was offered.... It is good value and works well. The output is reasonable for most jobs, but obviously not upto continuous spraying. The compressor output connector, the connector on the £20 accessory pack and the nailer are not UK standard ones, but a European standard. They look quite similar, but they are not the same.... So if you need more you will need to go to a pnuematic specialist such a Thorite. Machine Mart do not stock them. They can be easily changed to the UK standard, but is it worth it if you only us them in isolation at home. The nailer is for thin brads upto 50mm long, good for furniture and similar light work. The compressor includes a pressure adjustment which it possible to adjust how deep the brads penetrate the wood (or the side of your skull). -- -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.org |

TIA John http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...=pikey&skip=20 Just about sums up most meanings. I must be a pikey then as I shop at Aldi occassionally, and Lidl more often as it is closer. I would shop at Morrisons if one was close. Quite simply, I like paying less for my groceries, and in the case of Lidl and Alsi, I enjoy the range of German foods on offer. I must be the only private boarding school, officers daughter pikey around eh? Perhaps this upbringing and education inhibited any of the silly snobbery and name calling exhibited by those all too eager to demonstrate their good taste and selectivity by running down those who choose to shop where they do. guide to a well behaved parrot Guide to companion parrot behaviour My Parrot My Friend. |

Call me Pikey Pete if you will, but SWMBO and I shop regularly at Lidl (and at Lidl and Aldi when in the Netherlands). Being German shops, they work on the most popular principle the pile it high and sell it cheap. It seems that the average hausfrau prefers to buy on price. Overheard in our nearest Lidl: Ooh, I'm not buying that, it's German! Many Lidl food products are excellent quality and incredible value for money. Tinned salmon/herring/mackerel fillets in a variety of oils and sauces, dark (74%) chocolate, ice cream, frozen chips, coleslaw, fruit juice, chicken nuggets (whole pieces, not reconstituted shredded stuff), tasty German pilsener, mineral water, to name but several.
