I tried the Milk version this week, which is much, much better - almost like a completely different product. It's not overly sweet, but it is creamy and has a proper melty texture.
So much to read, so little time.
The traffic light system which replaced the charming concierge on the door is breaking down. It's the fault of the selfish members of the public rather than Aldi but nevertheless a problem. The green light is on long enough for large groups to get through so the 1 person per trolley had gone out of the window. Complete families, couples etc were shopping together. It was obvious from the increased noise levels that there were far too many people in the store to allow for social distancing.
I suspect that the government is actively working towards dropping social distancing as a policy to get schools and the hospitality industry up and running but it seems to be falling apart without their 'help'. ☹️
