Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Having so little space in the kitchen that I have to move something to put something else into that space and move something to make space for the first thing I moved and so on ...

Reading back, I used to be a BMW driver. I think I was a better diver then than I am now.

Lidl checkouts. Yes, it's fine having a lovely long belt to unload the basket/trolley onto but there's only six square inches of space after the cashier for them to put everything, never mind anywhere for me to actually pack my bags in.

Switts - it's usually while I'm preparing food and often when I'm taking hot dishes out of oven or straining veg. My edibles are all in the cupboards or fridge.

Duchess - I used to complain about this to housemate - who told me that the trick is to put things back in your trolley as they get scanned, then pack your bags after paying etc on the ledge at the back of the stall.

I still think this is stupid so simply refuse to go to Lidl & Aldi...

I don't go to Lidl and Aldi for the same reason. They're not cheaper *enough* for me to be prepared to put up with having my purchases thrown back into my trolley for me to take away and pack elsewhere instead of being asked if I need any bags or some help with packing :)

And I've never bought anything there that I haven't been disappointed with.

I only go to Lidl for the occasional non-edible thing. They were good for some cheap running gear when I first started running - I was a size 20 back then, and was therefore deemed not to be a suitable person to wear most running clothes brands.
