mushroom Sep 2012 4:01pm, 12 Sep 2012 92 posts	0 mushroom lol at the image of the coach in the car! I remember a rugby training session we did in thick fog. Difficult to play when you can't even see 5 yards. The coaching was a bit minimal - he didn't know where anyone was..! Back on topic, I've never been able to get any offers at Lidl/Aldi. They only seem to stock running / outdoor gear for short periods and I don't have a store near me, so I usually just call in if I'm passing, but never at the right time

halfpint Sep 2012 2:55pm, 13 Sep 2012 13221 posts	0 halfpint I popped into Aldi this morning (mostly for chocolate) and picked up compression underwear for my son. They had age 6-7 up to 12-13 I think. Shorts and a long sleeve top for 9.99. Perfect for under his cycling gear. Bargain I reckon. Oh and a shortie wetsuit The weather is not really appropriate any more so hopefully he won't grow too much before next summer.
