    I give up. Guess no one saw the please be nice tag.

    I'm truly sorry you feel that. However, nobody's been nasty to you. Being nice to you is not the same as agreeing with you. It's a forum which means that everybody has their own opinion. which frequently will be different from yours.

    i dont see the problem, it fits that asda should replace netto, afterall they both aim for the same.....customer base.

    Aldi is quite good for nearly the same brands - the names make us chuckle (we are sad) Seal bars instead of Penguins etc.

    Ours is supposed to be changing by the summer to an Asda can't see that happening some how and there's no mention on the website.

    We need a decent supermarket round here it's a bit of a trek to the nearest large supermarket.

    However will miss the the large packs of bacon they sell I only go in for the that and hubby says its the best :D

    It looks as though Ugo's owners (Haldane Stores) are in administration, so that may leave a few gaps in the network.
