Hmmm! is that a con by Aldi?

[The3rd Earl Of Derby]

they're offering a tile cutter next week based on the table saw they sold just befor xmas.

[Andy Hall]

We already know from previous offers that their marketing people are clueless.

If they don't shift the container load of junk they bought this time, the next offer is as a bacon slicer.....

[Andy Hall]

Very good. :-) No that wasn't in my mind at all - just the first thing that came to mind with a grocer selling machinery.

[Chris Bacon]

Dunno. In what way would that be a "con"?

They've a very good price for white spirit, BTW.

[The3rd Earl Of Derby]

The table saw was 29.95GBP and is identical to the TC?(have to have a gander),changing the blade over on the TC for a wood blade will get you a table saw plus TC in one. ;-)

[Mark]

based on ? they are not even similar, but the same as the cheep tile cutters sold in the sheds for a few pounds less.

That would make it a pro not a con.

[Owain]

What label do I look for on the bottle - own-brand vodka?

Yep for TC, but had I waited I could have saved 7GBP and got a TC&Table saw into the bargain.

[Mike Halmarack]

Waiting is really effective. I've got a long list of tools to buy. My wife keeps telling me to wait. While I'm waiting I'm sanding the landing with an old Bosch orbital sander that has no dust extraction. At this rate I don't think I'll have to wait long. :)

[Andy Hall]

Own brand vodka?

[dennis]

I have a new Bosch sander and it is still dusty even with the dust extraction.

[Adrian C]

And Vodka. Different bottle i think...?

[Adrian C]

Hmmm... same joke done three times ;-)

[Mike Halmarack]

Life's a beach eh? The reality rarely matches the dream. I spent an age saving for a facelift and at the celebratory meal after the op, stabbed myself in the throat with a forkfull of turkey twizzler and baked beans.

[Mike Halmarack]

Must be a good 'un.:-)

[Grimly Curmudgeon]

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Mike Halmarack saying something like:

Ah. That explains why so many people talk out of their arses.

[Mike Halmarack]

Especially after eating garlic.

If it's any good it will be either:

i) never delivered to your local shop. ii) sold out by 9:05 on the first day that's it is on sale.
