So what is free then ?????????????

Thats like saying I got a great offer at the garage today. I bought a box of tissues today for £80 and got a FREE tank of petrol !!

a all inc sim would cost about £20 a month with most suppliers
So take that off my bill
And all the sports channels and movie channels
AND all the other chanbeks
The package is far more than I was on last year BUT much cheaper

I am battling with Aldi over the band saw that arrived broken
Do not get me wrong. Aldi are not the problem as such... It is the carriers
Two muppets arrived to collect the duff unit and I do not think they could put together 5 english words between them...
Now I have a LOT of time for Sikhs in general.. They are great to hang out with and their code of conduct is usually very high .. indeed they are higher than mine !
But having a job customer facing is NOT something a non english speaking should have....
They collected the item ok after a false start but when I asked for a receipt it all fell apart.
Not THEIR fault, but the totally crap transport company they work for
I ended up foning Aldi AGAIN ( 5th or 6th time ) wanting assurance that no receipt was ok... The guy I spoke to was surprised but looked on his system and assured me the collection had been logged as done so no worries....
With all the hoops I have had to jump through to get the matter sorted I will NOT be buying on line from Aldi again if I can avoid it
Had a bit of hassle with them over a compressor that I purchased from their online shop. Fair play to them, it was delivered very quickly (whilst I was at work). The Mrs had the delivery driver drop it off in the garage. I arrived home to find the upside down box in the middle of the garage with a pool of oil under it.
Was a ball ache to return it, due to them saying no one was in when they came to collect it the 1st time. Eventually ended up taking it back to our local store and receiving a replacement.

Watched ‘Stonehenge; the Lost Circle’ on bbc2. Amazing use of technology mixed with archeology tracing the history of Stonehenge. ,Good watching.

Don’t leave bird shit on the car for any time, it’s caustic and will rot through the lacquer quicker than you’d expect.

Living here you soon become an expert in the subject! Place kitchen roll paper over poo, soak paper with water and leave for ten minutes and the poo will wash off

Learned that the only thing more boring than having photos of someone else's grandkids forced upon you is to have photos of someone else's grandkids forced upon you during a four way Zoom call with friends.

Went shopping to Sainsburys today (Mrs recently had an operation so I am now doing the shopping). On an impulse I placed four bottles of pancake mixture in me trolley from an end of isle display. Then when I reached the flour and cake isle I had a brainwave and bought ingredients to make the mixture instead.... was an absolute fraction of the cost.
