It was a 10% introductory discount, not sure how long it will last.

Yes I was surprised at how many cars were on the Aldi car park too, hopefully the opening of Rossmann will bring them a little more business, Aldi is usually empty compared to Lidl.

u stillhaven't sorted it, go to Reparamos at back end of where Mercadona used to be.  He has the patience of a Saint - he has to due to the number of times I go in with daft (to others) questions that I ask him.  He rarely charges me - possibly as I always make him laugh at my ineptitude with things technical... :shocked: :undecided:

Not been in to investigate of course but a look at the "background" says:
Quote
Action is a Dutch international discount store chain with a majority ownership held by British private equity firm 3i, with more than 80% of the shares. It sells low budget, non-food and some food products with long shelf lives. Action operates stores in eleven countries — Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Austria, Luxembourg, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy and since 2022 in Spain and 2023 Slovakia. Action, with over 2,300 stores and 80,000 employees, generated €8.9 billion in net sales in 2022

Certainly a lot of money coming into the town  :thumbsup:
