Re: Lidl

Yes, it must be company policy, as they did this at Lidl, Polis Rd last Monday. I like the new layout, except that milk/ dairy products etc are now on the back wall of the shop.

Re: Swimming Pool-Back Wash

Re: Electric cars

We have all had AMPle time to remain NEUTRAL or become LIVE contributors - or should that be DISTRIBUTORS?

The August full moon is called the Sturgeon moon because sturgeon were traditionally caught in the Great Lakes during the full moon in August. Isn't Mr Google cle...
