Posted - 06/04/2007 : 12:30:08 Great to see the Aldi building being made to open in July.
Station Road over the Railway crossing. Up from where Tesco is.
It was the BMW showroom.

Next you will say Life in the city.
At this rate the local newsagents will need a machine gun post. Unfortunately, that is the case in sonme areas.
Real Police under Stinking New Labour not going to happen.
And All Supermarkets must have Security. Lidl & Aldi take more Cash than other stores that is why Most stores have Proper staff.
I was shocked when I went round that Aldi one bloke at the till and the Back area I could walk right into with no one watching.
The Manager who is Young has Failed 100% FACT. |

This is a wonderful image.
I am sure that Mr Patel would find no shortage of volunteers to man it round the clock, and if the milkman got a round of pellets in the rear, that is a price to be paid in the battle zone that is contemporary Portslade.
The first politician to bring back the Home Guard will romp to an unprecedented Parliamentary majority. |

Posted - 20/08/2007 : 18:46:43 You having a Laugh,
Two with Knives The Police say Public stay away from that trouble.
It is Aldi's own fault it is a very open store you could walk into the back area easy.
Sloppy Staff are 100% to blame and the bloke that hired them. |

Posted - 20/08/2007 : 18:41:16 Doesn't sound as if the Portslade residents are made of very tough stuff if they did not all pile in together and leap upon these hoodlums. They are happy enough to keep fghting in the pub by the station which was then closed down but they will not take on these thugs. Double standards. |

Posted - 20/08/2007 : 18:10:36 Cash seems the only thing worth thieving here, not impressed by their products or the smell of the store on my one and only visit, distinct aroma of rotting food! Still you get what you pay for....... |

No they have One Security bloke and also a Manager that is a back up at times. |

Posted - 20/08/2007 : 16:50:22 It is a lesson for them as a New store - this is Typical, infact. They asked to be robbed by not having two Security guards.

Posted - 20/08/2007 : 16:20:21 From Todays Argus this new Aldi was robbed by 2 men with knives. They ran off with money, in coins, in big bags to a get away car.
Of Course they will have them on VT.

Posted - 03/08/2007 : 17:20:01 Having said that, it does seem a tad double standards doesn't it. All those council notices and stuff do not distract drivers? |

Posted - 03/08/2007 : 17:10:12 Part of the reason for the fine was because the signs could distract drivers and cause death. A high price to pay for cheap beans. |

For Aldi well worth the fine.
Some of those signs were near the Lidl Store on the A259.

Posted - 27/07/2007 : 10:51:00 The disabled car park spaces are rather a way away from the store because of the layout of the carpark. Went there yesterday as I was in the area to see my daughter. It was very light and bright but some of the aisles were difficult to negotiate as they had huge trolleys being used by staff restocking the shelves. |
| Infinite Poppadum |
Posted - 27/07/2007 : 10:19:00 They have special offers on Thursdays and Sundays. I am surprised that LTNS has not announced this.
Perhaps he is busy negotiating with the West Pier Trust for a season ticket at the i360 so that he can keep an eye on boats arriving from China and dockling at Shoreham where they will disgorge more plastic items to sell at Aldi and he can be first in the queue. |

Posted - 20/07/2007 : 10:01:48 How does LTNS know which end of a pasty to eat first? His geography is very poor.
The new Aldi is on Carlton Terrace, Portslade.
He has slender grasp of

Should be popular with Brightonians. |

Posted - 19/07/2007 : 18:33:48 Gosh! Aldi leave nothing to chance.
Anybody who buys teabags there can make use of the "after sales helpsite".
Doubtless the highly-trained staff at the other end of the line will be able to advise on how many bags to put in a pot when making tea for four.
As it's Aldi tea, the answer is probably eight bags and three for the pot. |
