Does not mean all 'indies' are rubbish. I believe you're of an age where you may have heard, 'one swallow does not a summer make', I know you've had a bad experience in the past, but does not mean that over 600 branches are in total useless... Once bitten twice shy mate. I always deal with Sandicliffe Ford now and have done for many years. I've always been treated well and never had a problem.

Was going to make a joke about that particular bird. But as Im writing I've thought better of it. 😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I have the exact opposite snobbery! My Lidl bag goes everywhere with me no matter where I end up going! I'm envious of you, Aldi don't operate in Northern Ireland, so I can only shop there whenever we visit Donegall, our last stop on way home... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
