I was in Aldi an hour ago, bike tool kits down from £15 to £7, and cycling trousers £10 from £20.

I also picked up a waterproof phone pouch for £4.

I recently found out where Lidl make some of their cost savings - on warehouse staff. I was delivering some sugar (26 tonnes of it) into Lidl's distribution centre outside Glasgow.

Once you back onto the loading bay at "normal" places, you are not allowed into the back of your trailer or the warehouse, on H&S/security grounds. Fair enough. But not at Lidl; you have to unload your own trailer :laugh:. You get a 30 second course on how to operate the linkspan to the trailer, and the electric pallet truck, then you're on your own. So much for H&S!
The Channel 5 series on Eddie Stobart showed their drivers offloading trailers at many places including Tesco Expresses.

That's fine if you have wheeled cages on board, and a trailer with a tail-lift (most general haulage trailers don't), but normally you need a forklift to take pallets off your trailer, or a loading bay where someone can get a pallet truck into the back.
It's very unusual to have to go into a third party's warehouse to unload your trailer!

Asda is always horrible, in fact that's one of the delights of going and it's cheaper, though less humane, than the zoo
Unfortunately my local ASDA is very close and it's huge. They have far more choice than any other supermarket around here. The downside is it can get very crowded with the sort of people who have no idea that other people are actually in there with them and the sort of people who can't control their kids.

That's fantastic.One of the best adverts I've seen for some time.
As an aside, on a recent interview it was suggested that one of the big four grocery supermarkets will go belly under over the next few years wonder which that will be.
