I was one of the very early adopters of ALDI locally. There was quite a bit of suspicion at first (the Irish were/are into Brands). I recall seeing one snobby moo of my acquaintance hiding when she saw me - in case she was spotted slumming it (she's first to say hello when she spots me at work )
My ALDI romance ended when (in a moment of weakness) I purchased a petrol chainsaw from them. What a piece of crap and what a terrible support department! I threw it away and saved for a Husky.

I've moved my affection to LIDL - better scran all around. Their Kernywurst gets a

That's fair enough. I wanted a working saw and they didn't have any. I was referred to their "support" outfit - LOL. We live and learn - I didn't pay much and I didn't get much!

Yes - I did buy a (rather hefty) gas fired soldering iron of theirs. It's still working and very handy - so I suppose credit where it's due. I'm still sore about the saw. Their waders lasted one day, so I could whinge about those instead I guess....

You won't regret the small out lay for the many benefits to be gained by the matted floor.

I used a couple of foam exercise mats around £15 i think. The floor in my Zodiac was wooden so i stuck it down with carpet glue....works a treat.
