They are one of the richest chains but they refuse to give Jobseekers real jobs you do a few hours a week and you only get your JSA.

They are one of the richest because -

YOU shop there !

.. and why do you shop there ?

because they are cheap !

.. and they cant be cheap if they are paying inflated wages.

How do you know Andrew shops at Tesco? How patronising.

I was in there today buying Kopparberg pear perry non alcoholic - tipped on here and now my drug of choice!

Thank you JK I do not shop in Tesco hate them worked for them years ago, I bet ITK shops at Lidl

I read Paul Mccartney stopped smoking dope I think his left it too late.

According to ASDA they are the cheapest.

if you have your way no-one will be able to afford to shop there.

I think you are an anti-capitalist as well....it only survives if people have money to spend.

read Ayn Rand by any chance?

Good grief I'm surprised JK has ever heard let alone shopped in Aldi. I believe at this stage he's confused with Audie Murphy, whom he probably once interviewed.

It was a generalisation, FC ... sorry if that is above you !

I think my point is proved.

It's just yet another example of what I've said all along ... people want the cheapest products yet seem not to be able to understand that means also you have to pay the cheapest wages too.

Only Greek economics works differently.

I heard JK does his weekly food shop at Harrords.

I don't go into Supermarkets very often but my local Sainsbury's is ok. I don't know where my nearest Tesco is.

People adapt to their circumstances but millions of people would pay more to support local industry.

successive governments have encouraged manufacturing off-shore (as well as profits to tax havens thus avoiding tax) and colluded in destroying local industry so a inevitable downward's spiral has begun which will have dire circumstances especially in property prices.

Alternatively Britain could be like Germany with it's left wing governments that have encouraged and supported local industry, co-operated with unions and treated them as partners in the process and that is why it still has great welfare benefits and a brilliant economy despite a massive world slump that is coming...2008 being just the beginning.

Most Europeans support local industry...because the still have it.

I have faith that the majority would pay a little more to support local producers and preserve local jobs.

I can't prove it but you can't prove the opposite.

Aldi do not claim to be the "cheapest". Their aim is to offer the same or better quaity than the leading brand but at a much lower price. I.e. the best VALUE. (Think M&S but without the overheads).

Yes. my wife and I use Aldi a lot, and love the way they keep it so simple. And the speed you get through the check-outs has got to be seen to be believed. No mesing about packing stuff, it just goes back into the trolly.

Makes you wonder, then, why British manufacturing has disappeared, eh, veritas ?

If ALL these people are queuing-up to buy British goods (at inflated prices) ???

there is this entity called 'government' that citizens place their (misguided) faith in , in the hope they will govern wisely, promote industry to create jobs, tax to build infrastructure etc etc.

You only need a couple of idealoges like Margaret Thatcher & Ronald Reagan plus a Murdoch for the whole edifice to come crumbling down.

plus a certain number of ITKs to celebrate their deeds.

I've told you over and over again, its NOT the government's job (sorry about the pun !) to find work for people.

They have already expanded a great deal of money in education etc ... if the simpletons have wasted that its their fault entirely.

Those with talent and skills will always be in demand.
