Is any of it worth having?

Yes definitely, the bags are great (I've got three of the small ones and the holdall) and their polarised sunglasses are for nowt... They work well too.

Always worth having a pick over the other stuff too considering the rock bottom prices :thumbs:

I hope its better than their biscuits ! Yuk !

??? Some of their biscuits are not bad at all, i always take a few packets to work and try to shame others into bringing even better one's:):)
Their small fishing bags are fine too for a short session, or for a short trip that you don't need to take the kitchen sink:) Although you could probably pick up a kitchen sink at a reasonable price if you really had to take one fishing:D

Aye nowt wrong with Aldis biscuits, there white chocolate and cranberry cookies are delicious.
And there gourmet crackers with sea salt are very good, spread with lurpac butter and a nice slice of Lancashire cheese, there very tasty.

Will have a look at the tackle on Sunday, I'm after another of there cool bags, there great for bait etc.

Or in Skip's case Terry Pratchet's "Luggage"

I bought a pack of Chocolate Chip Cookies for yesterday's meeting

Try Asda's white chocolate chip and cranberry or Lidl's stem ginger Skip

I got a pair of field boots for £12.99 last year. Great for wet grass.
Also the green cool bag for bait.

JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE TEMPTATION TO BUY THEIR BOILIES THOUGH.
Crumbly chemically smelling rubbish.

They run a battery down in no time unless the engine's running. I use one when we go out in the van and stick half a dozen freezer blocks in there, then stuff it underneath, out of the heat. Another half-dozen blocks are freezing in the van fridge to use in rotation, replacing the spent ones every 24 hours, which keeps everything fresh.

On long stays, the "maggots in an airless plastic bag" trick works brilliantly in combination with the cooler/ freezer blocks combo to keep them in peak condition. Split into pints and allowed some air at the end of each day, they were still perfectly fresh after a week's storage when we last went away. Thanks, BTW, to whoever posted that technique: I owe you one.:thumbs:
