Aldi expansion

Yes, dear - and a lovely weekend to you too. Hope you feel better soon.

Didn’t know I was feeling poorly

Heidi’s were standard platts

They are called plaits

In the meantime, we get 'Dad's Army Brexit' - they probably read Gransnet lol.

And the connection with this thread title is.......?

Well, I stand corrected merlot! In that case I had "bunches" of straggly hair that stuck out of the sides of my head. I was aiming for "plaits/platts/braids/platz" but I got nits and had my hair chopped off . never did get pig tails/plaits /braids/platz & too late now

Sorry jura but what does that have to do with Aldi expansion or plaits/platts /braids/platz? I appreciate you're over invested interested in Brexit but that's quite a stretch even so.

Chewbacca

Chewb, may I ask you to re-read the OP- Brexit was very much part of this thread from the start- and not by my choice.

As for Dad's Army - a bit like Black Adder - how and what we eat is very much related, and so is our attitude to it all. You see- all linked, in mysterious ways ;) indeed.

But not plaits, I agree. Merlot's joke is responsible here.

Yes jura, Brexit was referred to in the op but only in the context that Aldi seems to be unbothered by it. And I would concur with that observation. Aldi have gone from strength to strength, winning several awards for the quality and value for money of their products. They've opened many new stores across the UK this year alone and so have invested heavily in our country. I seriously doubt that they are as fearful of the future, post Brexit, as you are.

Yay, plaits!

'I seriously doubt that they are as fearful of the future, post Brexit, as you are.'

agreed, and for what reason, do you think? My point entirely.

I'm afraid, if the OP makes it clear it is Brexit related- then the discussion can go in many directions- and not necessarily where the OP, or you, intended. That is the nature of the beast.

I suspect that Aldi have many financial advisers, who will have taken the long view jura. I doubt that they will have invested so much money in the UK if they had any great concerns for the longevity of their business post Brexit. But you seem determined to be worried and anxious about it all and nothing that anyone can say to you will bring you peace of mind. So I'll leave you to carry on with your mithering.

Of course they have financial advisers- and they can see their chance- as price are rising fast, and shortages beginning. They are on the ball, for sure...

As for mithering, I'll just end in French 'Patisserie Valérie' - bonne nuit.

Better be quick before they go bust then.

yes, my point entirely ;)

Give Maw! jura is absolutely determined to mither herself into a stew, no matter what. Best leave her to it.

Sorry Maw... I meant "give up"! banging head against a brick wall

I’m out!

But isn’t it unfair to deprive Jura of the opportunity to (bang on abou) discuss Brexit?
There are so few threads dedicated to aspects of it (10 on the first page, but there may be more) so I think you should let her go on.... and on.

Strange way to be out Maw-

before you go, care to give an answer about the Irish border, please. Because if you ever gave answers, or discussed Brexit - we might actually get somewhere. As said, this thread was not started by a Remainer, was it?

Ariston ...

Now we have ‘Irish Border’ in the thread.

A brand new Aldi opened recently near me, which was a pleasant surprise as there wasn’t one for a long long way before that.I enjoyed browsing in it and comparing prices.
No wonder Aldi and Lidl are success stories.The Tesco near the new Aldi now have massive price cuts, a win win situation for customers.

Is this thread about the Irish Border now?

not really, but it is about discussing Brexit. But you can reply to the question on the Irish border thread, if you'd care to do so, because we have been waiting for days ...

You know, I really think that Brexit has sent some people crazy.
