have been doing this first with ALDI in 2000 who were ALLOWIING me not to have plastic bags (yes ColesWorths etc. insisted on throwing them at me, even worse "packing"them ). I have cartons and some carry bags in the booth. NO I have not"forgotten" my bags ..as I have been told repeatedly by...

I only know the one in France, Austria, South Germany and Australia but I can tell you you can buy snails at Aldi in France :ROFLMAO:

though I remember buying just the one cloth bag marked "green" which was dutifully given to me in a plastic bag. I refused said plastic bag saying "this defeat the purpose"and the shop assistant shove the plastic bag into the bin :rolleyes:

my point , they were horrible then, no difference now 😂

Years ago in the 60s when those horrible paper bags were phased out I was delighted with their plastic replacement. However within a short time realised in the early 70s that this was a nonsense and I tried to put groceries back in trolley...was not allowed, they insisted giving them to me...

You should mention ALDI as well, been taking my batteries there long before Colsworth join the bandwagon

2 days ago a magpie landed next to me whilst I was weeding and it proceeded to accompany me around for approx.10mn whilst I went on. I must say I was a bit dubious when it came in and landed 50cm from me wondering what could I do if it tried to attack me but stayed calm cool and collected 😂 ...

yes you would think the digital was more up to date than the printed stuff :ROFLMAO:

just last Wednesday in a group of 20, I was the only one "brave"enough to use a QR code to order & pay for my meal. Though I did not include the glass of wine as the two I saw on the "paper" menu list were not listed. On mentionning this to the bartender he advised me that I should have look...

Some of us must be teflon coated:ROFLMAO:. I have travelled the world practically since birth (first international trip train/ship, a few months old), and have yet to have any illness related in any shape or form to a hotel room (I was even born in one... my mother would have preferred I waited...

marvellous: instead of queueing at the paydesk, we now queue for so called self=servicee and then you have to wait for an assistant as the machine refuses to work
