Sure, but why would you buy Aldi's tat instead of Lidl's legal sets?

Bought the ladies performance bib tights last year (reduced to £18).
A very strange shape - baggy round the bum and waist but the legs are so skinny they break my nails dragging them on and then cut the blood supply off to my feet.
Only used when I have a total laundry fail!

My arse is perfect and my legs are, erm, useful as well as decorative!

I have a look at it. but the clothing is generally 'L', or 'XL', in my local store
I need a 'Small'
That's unless I'm shopping at Planet X, then it could be anything, as I have a (large) jacket from there, that's a tighter fit than my 'small' items

At least your bum can't have looked big in them.

My Aldi lobster gloves arrived today.
They actually DO have liners inside the 2-finger compartments so they feel like normal gloves while the fingers are alongside each other. As soon as you do the predictable Vulcan 'Live long and prosper' gesture, the lobster claw design becomes more obvious!
The gloves feel warm when worn inside the house and I suspect that they would keep my hands warm in any temperatures that I am likely to ride in, unless my hands got wet. I'm not sure how waterproof they will be. Hang on, I'll immerse my lobstered hands in a bowl of water and find out ...!
(Time passes ... slowly!)
Ok - The gloves did not let any water through to my fingers while holding my hands under water for one minute, but water WAS being absorbed. The gloves felt heavier, and when I took them off I could wring water out of them. I'm fairly sure that water WOULD get through eventually in heavy rain but I suspect that the gloves would then act like wetsuits for the hands. By keeping the wind off wet fingers, I think they could stay pretty warm.
The lobster design didn't feel too odd when holding the bars and operating the brake and gear levers.
I'll wear the gloves the next time I do a bad weather ride and see what they are like in actual use.

Bought two of the moon nebula lookalike rear lights . Actually seem decent quality, the floor pump seems better than the cheap £5 jobs I've bought before which broke due to being just sh...t . May go back for one , handy for work backup ! Resisted buying other stuff particular the merino stuff but might go back in lol .

Without entering into the legality of these lights. Both look very similar to each other in construction and output.
Aldi's made in China, Moon's assembled in Hong Kong according to the light case rear.
Aldi lights £12.99.

Pair of socks and some oil. Nothing else that I needed. Might get a rear light if they get discounted in a week.
