    Ive moved right into the city centre in a little apartment: it's a great city :0) I've been told there's a good fish market but not sure where it is so may go exploring today!

    (also am dead close to the lobrary- first time ever so I can walk 5 mims to get free books: perfect Saturday!)

    Another Leicester person here!

    I work for Sainsburys and some customers with their own shopping trolleys leave them at the bottom of the checkouts. The area is busy as there are seats there as well.
    Yes Sainsbury's are quite good for that, but they are getting very expensive,I shop there for the bargains. lol

    Will your shopping trolley not fit in the Aldi trolley (large one) with your shopping??
    I'm assuming yours is one of the wheeled case type ones??

    Good luck.

    Lynsey
    Thanks Lynsey, but my trolley is too big to go into their trolleys.

    Leicester is a great city.
    I love browsing round the market and the fish market is the best in the country IMO,easy to get to from where you are,straight down Market st cross the road go straight on the fish market entrance is on the left before you actually get into the market proper, hope you find it ok. Just ask me if you need to anything else about Leicester,I 'emigrated' here 50 years ago and would never go back to Hull.

    Hi Renegade. I can't help you re where to leave your trolly as i've never been to the Aldi near to you. At the Aldi in Meridian there is a space behind the check outs where people pack things, but i'm not sure it would be safe to leave it there, maybe you could go at a time when they aren't busy and ask the staff where it would be safe to leave it?

    Anyway, i wanted to say hi as i live not far from you, near to Dovelands primary school .

    Just curious....what do you think of Leicester market? I have stopped going there as i'm fed up of getting rotten stuff that just doesn't last. Also, do you listen to Radio Leicester?
    Hi Kippers. I am on Sandhurst Rd. I love the market rarely get bad stuff but as I am on my own I usually get small amounts which get eaten very quickly lol. Yes, I do listen to Radio leic every morning whilst I am browsing on here, I love the Jim Davies slot.
    regards Aldi, I will go down and ask the manager about it, sure it will be ok to leave my trolley near the check out as it will be empty anyway!
    Thanks for your reply.
