1/ Whilst shopping in my local Aldi, I'm not proud, I saw a gentleman wearing a Seagulls baseball cap. I asked him if he goes to matches, his terse reply was NO not since they made us sit down, you watch football standing on the terraces!
2/ Walking down my High street a Birmingham fan who lives in Bicester came up and praised our style of play and was blown away by the Amex. It was his first trip there and thought the atmosphere and friendliness of staff and fans was a credit to football.

I've just checked and my nearest Aldi is 6.94 miles away in Camberley. Must give it a try.

You definitely should. It hasn't won best supermarket for 2012 and 2013 for nothing!

The Smoked Back Bacon is the real winner.

Tried that very store this week - very curiously it had bargain smoked salmon and not very much else at all.

Easy Tiger, I am referring to Aldi Beechwood Smoked Back bacon, not the economy mush/0.5mm slices. This is slightly thicker sliced and dry cured and has a wonderful flavour yet comes in a Pound cheaper than the equivalent Taste the Difference/ The Best packs etc offered by such as Sainsbury's and Morrisons etc etc.

Racist stereotyping!



PS: agree about the back bacon.

Must be because it's near Sandhurst.

1. The man in Aldi is clearly a Bellend
2. You should have smacked the brummie toady in the kisser and yocked on him to let him know he's shit.

Or said cheers. Whatever suits.

I shop in Aldi and am Proud to say so.

My top tip - Babies disposable nappies - the Aldi own brand are much better than the other brands (Pampers etc). They got a which best buy. They are also around half the price of branded products.

Cheers for that. I've just got my youngest out of nappies after spending a fortune on Pampers for her and her two brothers over the past 6 years...

Damn.
