I doubt there will be one in this area for years if ever, not got a Aldi yet, but I'd use it at least once to try it

If they pay UK taxes I probably would.

The population of Russia is 146 million, not everyone is a Disciple of Vlad.

Probably because it was about exactly the same thing, the Russian supermarket Mere opening in Preston.

Well I now wonder why these boards seem so quiet these days, I did wonder if the moderation is part of it. And no I don't just mean this thread, the long standing Lidl/aldi one is a good example, where lots of posts got moved for no sensible reason.

There is absolutely no point in having 2 threads about the exact same thing so I'm not surprised it was merged.It's standard practice on any forum, although on many others I frequent they would simply have deleted the duplicate one. You could have searched first to see if there was already an existing thread.
