And Thus They Spake Unto Him

.
"Oh Mr Pavlov's Cat, we are but a young couple about to set off upon life's road together, but we are sorely vexed and trialed. There is something lacking, something that would tie us to this long journey that begins with a single step. What we require is an Arc Welder preferably with some sort of high speed cooling and all the accessories we need but all for under thirty of the good Queens pounds, for we are poor as church mice having purchased a Barrett Box off-plan at Woolwich Arsenal during the boom. Where O' Where could we find such a thing, our happiness is in our hands."

Lo' did Mr Pavlov's Cat respond.
"Fret you not O' best beloved, for it has been revealed to me in a missive from The Mighty Interwebs, an EMail-O-Gram entitled 'Weekly Specials Thursday 24th September 2009'.
Hie yourselves with great haste this coming Thursday to your nearest emporium that is called ALDI, (worry not that they are of the German and have strange biscuits and unusually named chocolate bars)
There you will find to your great delight 'The Turbo Fan Cooled Arc Welder' and included within 'All the accessories you will need' for the sum of only Twenty Nine Pounds and Ninety Nine New Pence.
But be sure to heed this warning that was graven upon the missive 'Hurry While Stocks Last, Once They're Gone, They're Gone."

And there was much rejoicing throughout the land.

  1. LOL!

    It's a shame I don't have an Aldi near me, when I did I used to love the random stuff they have. Luckily Tesco often has random piles of "stuff they bought cheap".

  2. I normally can't wait for my weekly ALDI and LIDL newsletters to see what cornucopia of delights they bring. The one near here recently had a whole row of Axes, not hatchets, big fuck off lumber
    jack style axes, for a suburban commuter town.
    and I once popped into a Lidl in Uxbridge that had everyhting for kitting out a horse, blankets, grooming kit and tack ( I think that;s the right word for all the leather bits) helmets and crops but no saddles.

  3. PC I know what you mean, it's like stepping into another world. I love it. The BIG YELLOW axes were also accompanied by MAULS as far as I remember up here.

    I always wanted to be in the top banana meeting thay had in Germany.

    Either they have a weird way of viewing the needs of the British consumer or they still don't forget and this is some curiously Germanic form of torture.

Due to the amount of spam that happens as soon as I enable 'Anon' comments. I'm afraid you'll have to log in to comment. It's that or I turn on the 'CAPCHA' and nobody likes that
