We've all had bad experiences. I once got an 'indie' to swap out the turbo on my Celica GT4, in addition to having the car for 5 x days (it's a 4 hour job), they made a right balls of it breaking some other components in the attempt. 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.

Indeed, I always shop at Lidl, a friend once shopped at Tesco but told me that  the carrots he once bought only lasted 2 days before going off! I've always been treated well and never had a problem.

Yeah, Tesco haven't got half the stuff I needed either. 

No nuts and bolts, angle grinder or swinging egg chair.

I was in ..........shhhhhh, don't tell anyone .... Aldi for the first time today and I actually bought some carrots.

Then coming out carrying my shopping in my Sainsbury bag, who do I meet but my neighbors just about to go in !!

Posh boy with a Sainsbury bag. We don't have the privilege or money in our town for a Sainsbury's.

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...

So what was this thread about?? 😂😂
