Picked up a couple of pairs of socks and some workshop wipes.

If your on a budget, perhaps starting out, its pretty decent gear. I thought the leather jacket looked OK for the money. Miles better than anything I had when I started 25 years ago in my Mr Clive jacket, trainers and Pepe jeans.

As with all Aldi offers you need to be there on the day that the the offers come out and at opening time. I have seen it before guys come in and take trolley loads of stuff as soon as the store opens - they then either take them to their market stalls and mark them up for a profit or sell them on E bay. My wife went to get an electric sewing machine once (£39) and managed to get the last one in the shop 30 minutes after it had opened she saw a chap putting 6 into the back of his van as she arrived.
There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity

Lidl were recently selling battery tenders for £12. They were rebranded Ctek ones that sell for x4 the price in bike shops. I bought a whole bunch of them :lol:

Managed to auction a couple of the battery chargers for over £30 at the bike club dinner, with proceeds going to the Irish Air Ambulance (the Road Racers favourite insurance company :lol: ) and several other bike riding mates thought I'd bought them really expensive Xmas presents :lol:
