Aldi have the best self-scanners of all the supermarkets. They rarely miss a beat. The extra long barcodes are good and they DON'T do bag checks.

Specially designed to speed up scanning by till operators, now assisting self check out users.

I like Aldi self serve checkouts. They work well and have a decent area to put your items once you have scanned them. And they have a member of staff lurking in case you need help IE you need alcohol to be authorised.

Do they ask you for proof of age, WD?

In all the years I have been driving I have never had to replace the windscreen washer pump
I have now and I'm £72 lighter, £22 for the pump and the rest was on labour

That’s cheap. 😀

Good evening all.
Millie has been dropped off at our daughter's place, and Harry has gone to the cattery because he can't be trusted not to bully the two female moggies while we are away for the week.
MrsP can't wait to get to Gran Canaria tomorrow for a bit of warmth and sunshine.

You'll be flying there I presume!

Well bugger

I mean - what a BITCH!!!

Just been to the chippie to get tea and due to my weird tummy I had to wait
no problem - leaned against the door

a woman - 30s or so - normal person - got up and offered me her seat

WHAT!!!!

I mean - how old do I look????
(shut up at the back!!)


anyway - BITCH

It's a bummer the first time that happens. Then as the years go by till at 70 you find yourself glaring at youngsters who aren't offering you their seat.

We gathered tonight to watch Road Diary, the documentary about the Springsteen 2024/25 tour. It's worth a couple of hours of anyone's time as it truly captures the essence of Springsteen, his relationship with his fans and perhaps answers the question for those who look on and ask why?

I've said it before, all you ever see at a Springsteen concert is smiles and tears........of joy.
