Aldi is going to open in the old ToysRUs unit. Is that a decent brand to help the struggling parc tawe concept? Footfall will improve by a big margin but is it the right brand for the future? |  |

Cant see why not, the top half of the parc, nearest to the stadium always seems to be busier, as it has supermarkets and a gym, so hopefully this will help fill the other half too |  |

An occupied store has to be better than a boarded vacant one ? | |

The other half of Parc Tawe has certainly been boosted with the newer Lidl. | |

Aldi is growing exponentially or so it seems.
German firm maybe but one that offers decent product at low prices with no frill.Check outs are fast with good reason.They take more money quickly and customers queue less.
It' s a winning brand and the big boys are well aware and are trying to fight back.
I see Aldi and Lidl becoming pre eminent within 10 years. | |

I quite like the quirkiness of Lidls', random shopping at its best , go in there for a bunch of bananas, leave with them and a portable compressor you never knew you needed | |

Not keen on the one in West Kirby, or the Aldi. Neston Aldi is far too busy for me! The newer Lidl stores with the full in store bakery are smashing. Lovely Goat's Cheese Focaccia, Pretzels and Pastel De Nata. Great fruit and veg too. Was in the one in Chester after my vaccination on Wednesday at the racecourse. They also sell Ritter Sport, which is not good for me, but can't resist a bar of rum, raisin and hazelnuts. | | | |

Which one in West Kirby Paul.
I was referring to the Lidl on Leasowe Rd Wallasey Village.
By the way,come summer,park up near there and take the footpath by Tranmere Rovers Academy/The now defunct car showroom site and that will take you directly to the best swimming spot.
Forget the dogging site area. Its 200 yards to the west of that | |

Thought you meant Morrison's sorry!
Sainsbury's in Neston is OK- fairly quiet after 7pm, but we are online with top ups from our local shop-who have been excellent over the last year supporting the community with deliveries to the elderly and no price gouging. | | | |

No need to be sorry mun .
Morrison has very friendly staff and good check out staff.
Sainburys in Upton the worst ,anywhere.One could read Epictetus cover to cover whilst waiting to complete transaction .
Anyway,you don't fool me ;you are Waitrose home delivery-and rightly so. | |

Ocado rather than Waitrose. Struggle to get slots for Waitrose!
Have Asda once a month for basics (beans, tomatoes, cleaning stuff). | | | |

Good day sir . I'm resigned to the fact that some out of sheer lack social awareness refuse to mask up and then there are those who can't and to be honest if I had a medical reason not to I wouldn't wear the bloody thing either.
Mr Barnes is a lump but a hero of mine , but if its size you hanker for then look no further than Big Nev , he and Razor Ruddock used to do "gentlemans" evenings as double act , to see how large they both had become was painful to watch but funny to listen to . | |

Ive spoken to Digger several times and he is ok ,totally different to the angry chap who opines on racist white people.
He has lived for many years in very affluent area with the only people of colour being Consultant Surgeons,Barristers or Drug Barons. | |

I did use the words "is it a decent brand". I am asking other people. I have a very long affiliation with Aldi and I am curious how perceptions are changing. It is the entrance to the city and wonder which way this development will sway. | |

I think Sainsbury price matching Aldi tells you a lot.
With Lidl on the one side and Aldi on the other is great news, I think the days of snobbery are long gone with these two | |

i'm surprised that you shop at these lower end discount supermarkets. I thought you would be upmarket especially with your penchant for posh dining out. | | | |

Aldi is far from low end, as Sainsbury have admitted, if you haven't tried them you should.
I still buy my eggs and fruit from M and S mind. | |
