Terry you are correct about Aldi and others.
We have them here with Lidl also considering Oz as a new customer.
Business will go where the trade is, where they can make a profit and there is no way they will pull out of UK after this.

One reality about Europe’s current political leadership is summarized here:
Macron, the newly elected French President, has no children.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has no children.
Austria's Chancellor “ Sebastian Kern” has no children
British Prime Minister Theresa May has no children.
Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni has no children.
Holland’s Mark Rutte,
Sweden’s Stefan Löfven,
Luxembourg's XavierBettel,
Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon — all have no children.
Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, has no children.
Ironically it would seem that a grossly disproportionate number of the people who make
the major decisions about Europe’s future have no direct personal stake in the future.
But yes UK does have a good future no matter what this lot do.
####politics are not allowed on the site .....but there were many causes not least for the MN with slater and that crowd of commies ...telling me personally come out we will get you 200 pounds a week the only prob being yes but the shipowners closed down ......shields pool from choosing your ships in the early 50s and 60s to dozens hanging round ...answer no jobs ...but like our leader of the miners slater had his job for life you couldnt prise him out with a bloody shoehorn
I was a member of the Amalgamated engineering union (AEU) from the age of 16, until I joined NUMAST not once was I ever called out on strike by the Unions.
Obviously the shipbuilding companies managements were never to blame for anything that would have lead to a walk out, there was blame on both sides.
Lewis, the walkouts and destruction were under Labour ownership.

The working practices of the nationalised British shipyards was one of their major downfalls I had done several dry docking s in the UK and in 1972 did a dry docking at NDSM in Amsterdam what a difference . In a british yard ship engineers did not pack a gland or change a joint on a flange they weren't allowed to it alright to be done by the shipyard in Holland they didn't give a damn they did their job you did what you needed to do it didn't matter . It was refreshing and if you wanted a hole drilled to put a bolt in a yard fitter would pick a drill up ask where you wanted the Holes measure it up mark it out and drill it . It would go down on his timesheet as time spent on the job and you would initial it . In the UK you would have to approach the ship manager who would arrange for the marker out and his mate to Mark out the hole then the driller and his mate would come and drill where the marker out had marked , then the inspector and his mate would come along and inspected and passs it so to get one hole drilled it took a minimum of 7 men and probably the best part of a couple of days . In Holland less than an hour . The strict demarcation rules where I fitter couldn't well because he wasn't a blacksmith and the demarcation in the mechanical trades were all out of the window I'm afraid that the British shipyard had no sympathy from me whatsoever there on a suicidal kick and on a mission to Nowhere .
