Whilst it is great to see the multi nationals here in NI - as a Londoner I know all too well how they strip the towns and cities of their individuality - and to top it of take local money out of the local eccomany
Lidel and Aldi are both German
Nothing wrong with the Germans but end of the day is these cash strapped times I spend my money locally as much as I can0 -
Re: Curry Ketchup Heinz have just launched a Tomato Sauce blended with Indian Spices which for all intents and purposes is a Curry Ketchup.
Thanks Andrew,I have a jar of it however it is nowhere near the same as German Curry Ketchup...Roll on the Belfast Continental Market...hopefully I can stock up then....:D0 -
The better half just informed me that a shop worker in Ards Shopping Center told her that the rumour is because Tesco have left it and Asda are leaving soon for new premises yet to be built that the shopping center are courting Aldi to move in. :j0

Not actually correct. Lidl and Aldi are not the same.
But Aldi was started by 2 brothers who operate in different areas inside and outside Germany. They are called Aldi North and Aldi South or something similar. lol
I love Google. :j:j0 -
