And there was me thinking you were expressing concern that my local tackle dealer was in danger of getting into financial difficulties due to me buying some boxes from B&Q and Maplins.Quote:-(looks like your local tackle dealer "ain`t safe after all"). Well paul, firstly I did state that most, not all Aldi tackle was a waste of time and money and secondly unless I`m very much mistaken I don`t think that Maplins or B&Q sell dendro`s,boilies or pints of casters let alone terminal tackle, rods ,reels etc,I don`t know about where you reside but I can assure you that they don`t sell `em here in Hastings.Same as when I want some paint,wallpaper or a drill I don`t go into Steves Tackle along Whiterock because I know he don`t sell em! With reference to my comment about Aldi/Lidl I CHOOSE to buy five tins of sweetcorn for the same price I have to pay for one tin at my local 7/11, after all it`s my money i`m not under contract to spend it in a particular place! Finally I was a little confused about the last comment in your post Re: yourAldi comment/rant,now me being an uneducated inarticulate manual worker I had a look at the word rant in the Collins English Dictionary page 1278. Sorry if my post came across to you as "quote Collins page1278,RANT- to utter something in a loud violent or bombastic manner! I must apologize for that it really was out of character, and there was me thinking I was having a healthy intelligent discussion and exchange of veiws,still one can only do ones best! To have choice is to have freedom. Keep taking the tablets! regards RLM.
