The Tills at this Aldi are wide. |

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

| 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. |

| Having said that, it does seem a tad double standards doesn't it. All those council notices and stuff do not distract drivers? |

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.

| Not much of advert for Aldi, is it? Doesn't sound as if they found anything worth stealing apart from the money. |

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.

| Perhaps the security guards are in the container load to dock, with the Christmas stuff. |

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....... |

The LCD big TV's are worth having but
their get away car or motor bikes were
down the road.
The coins were not Locked
the Notes were. |

| 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. |

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. |

This is a local store. Why should it need security guards?
Real police on the beat, should be the norm.
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. |
We're all doomed!

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. |

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.

has Failed 100%
