    From Aldi, it's the Brooklea 450g yogurt - Mango, Papaya & Passionfruit flavour. Better than what I thought it would be. As I'm not really a yogurt eating person
    I do like this and could easily demolish a whole tub at a time. But gave it up as I know sweet yoghurt is not good for me. Am finally beating the addiction :o

    Hmmm then I wonder why they don't just say Sainsbury's. Never have understood the need to refer to supermarkets by ridiculous names. Another bug bear is rearranging the lettering of words (e.g. carp for crap).

    Absolutely agree with you. It's a practise that seems to exist almost entirely amongst those whom education passed by. Interesting that Waitrose customers have never felt the need to create a pet name - or indeed to add the ludicrous 's' that the intellectually challenged add to names like Aldi, Lidl and Tesco.

    The reason why carp is used for crap is this board has a filter for swear words and naughty offensive words. :o

    It does very well at picking these things up, so people use rearranged words or double meaning words to get people to understand.

    As for the nicknames, it confuses the hell out of spider tracking anagrams.;)

    Actually I am NOT one of the persons who had my education pass me by.

    I actually find that offensive.:mad:
