Distractions eh?

Painting the side fence green this morning, next door neighbour pulls up,unloads a pile of shopping “just been to the new Aldi’s,been there yet Joe?” No I tell him and carry on painting

bit later Joan from across the street pulls up and starts unloading Aldi shopping bags,she looks over and nods at the bags,I tell her no,I haven’t been there yet,she says “did you not get the leaflet?” no I tell her,not bothering to explain

We don’t get any leaflets since an unfortunate incident with our dearly departed jack russel and a leaflet distributors fingers

,anyway time for a cup of tea,I get in and the missus says,”Joe the new Aldi’s has opened today”,I know I say,”fancy a trip up threre,

Probably got some opening offers on” ok then,I get changed and we drive up there

Pull in the car park and have to drive around 5 times before we spot a space at the

Same time as a woman in a black Audi TT,she gives a sort of  disdainful look at my

Car (probably spotting the dent in the side rear door) and decides to give way with

A nod,I wave to thank her and she looks away,snob I think,

anyway we get in and

Of course it’s chock a block with everyone travelling round the same way,suddenly

Coming against the flow a woman with a guide dog creates a bit of a stir,the

Woman in front of us bumps into her,accidently no doubt,the woman with the

Guide dog tuts loudly and says “it’s just as well I,m not blind isn’t it henry”

Maybe training the dog I think,

,eventually we get to the checkout expecting

To be rushed through at breakneck speed (been to other Aldi’s you see)

But they must have slowed the conveyor belt down for the opening and they

Had a young lass on actually packing your bags! She filled our 2 bags for life

And started packing the rest into FREE Aldi’s carrier bags,great service

I thought,but it won’t last,anyway we,or should I say I get to pay the

60 odd pound bill,the cashier says “did you not get a leaflet” no I tell her,

shame she says as there were money off coupons with it!
