Aldi socket set

Guest
I see Aldi are selling their excellent socket set this week (in Sydney).
I bought mine a few years back and it is brilliant quality. This week's
one looks slightly different, but is still made in Taiwan (NOT China)
and so should be the same quality. 59 Bucks.

Highly recommended.

What's the story? Is it like cicadas - only around for a short time every
few years?

That is how a lot of the non-grocery lines work; send set lot to a store
and there until sold out, which can be one days or longer.

In the UK we have mostly Aldi and Lidl, my town only has Lidl.

The tools that come up occasionally can vary wildly from pretty good to not
fit for purpose.

On the whole, most tools have been OK for the price. A bicycle tool set had
a completely un-tempered chain wrench - the handle just folded as soon as I
put some effort into it.

Vast amounts of looted gold and treasures that were never accounted for and
the prosperity of certain German companies seems just too much of a
coincidence.

One recent documentary suggests that the EU is pretty much based on the Nazi
economic plan, that has just been dressed up a little for the modern age.

Not Aldi and Lidl, however. They are just very efficient at what they do.
Did you know Wal Mart couldn't stand the competition in Germany and took
the bat and ran home?

Apparently some of the firms that set up sweat shops to work the
concentration camp slaves to death, did rather well.

Care to enlighten me on the title of said documentary? I'm curious.

Best I can give you is; I think it was on the Yesterday channel on Freeview,
they do all the World at war type documentaries.

Recent breaking news reveals that a deathbed confession has led the
authorities to a Nazi treasure train hidden in a sealed up tunnel somewhere
in Poland.

They expect to find; weapons, documents, gold and possibly art works.

Yeah I heard about that a few weeks ago and several 'journalists' have since
rushed to Poland to interview anyone who might know anything. I didn't know
'authorites' were involved though, other than a claim being laid for a
finders fee. There may have been developments since I last heard... That was
that two men represented by a lawyer are waiting to hear the results of
their request for a cut before anything alse is divulged. Several 'experts'
seem to think it's unlikely to eventuate though.

It seems there have been development. Google gives me this;

Nothing to do with Aldi and Lidl, however. You should be looking at the
sweat shops that English and American companies source clothes from.
Like Bangladesh and other countries that pay workers fuck all. Aldi and
Lidl derive most of their turnover from food items, most of which comes
from within the European Union.
Have you scrutinised Apple, for example???
