i could work very effectively from home, if i had ever actually worked out how to connect my laptop to citrix
when i do work from home, on articles or witness statements or something detailed, i like it. i get less distracted than i do at work really, because i don't have colleagues coming in for advice every couple of minutes.

alt: definitely. shudder. aldi, lidl, netto, poundland.... shudder.

Does it worry you that you will be one of the first to die in the forthcoming apocalypse?

I agree with your comments re Netto and Poundland
However, I have found the Aldi fillet steaks to be sublime (I know this is of no interest to you as a militant vegetablist).

If the butcher is closed I choose Aldi steaks over other supermarkets everytime
and their sausages are good too.

I heard you love a bit of German sausage.

i went into an aldi just once, when i was about 21, looking for a pair of tights
they had boxes full of 50 cheap pairs, each thinner than an atom. or nothing.

fuck that. one decent pair of tights was all i wanted. fuck you, aldi. and fuucccccccck those pikey shoppers who are too cheap even to pay for carrier bags, so take up hours in the car park, loading in one can of beans at a time *fumes*

Yeah, I too would be surprised and annoyed that a cheap grocery supermarket didn't stock a vast range of high end hosiery

Yeah, they didn't have any Cartier watches by the till either.
On the other hand I popped into the Harrods food hall the other day and they didn't have any cheap "orange juice based drink" only fresh hand squeezed Valencia orange juice. FUCK YOU HARRODS.

I had a similar problem in Fortnum and Mason when shopping for Herta frankfurters and Dairylea triangles
