Pelyma ... never been tempted by the tools on offer at Aldi/Lidl then? i'm always amazed that ASDA, Sainsburys etc. have never realised that selling compressed-air tools amongst the apples and tomatoes is an essential part of UK shopping.
The best thing about the tools is they are proper Chrome Vanadium for the sockets etc, and have a 3 year warranty on them, even the airtools which most places only offer 1 year.

I thought this thread was which one you prefer.
For me death wins, in fact I would choose death over any form of shopping.

Jury is out on this one. Furnished our new sunroom out of ikea. Having a D3 made transporting the various bits and piece so much more easier. Even got the 2 seater settee into it ! As regards the meatballs, well bordering from the insipid to tasteless, prefer the beer, light or dark. Probably the place is more bearable since I am only there twice a year. Not a great fan of “shopping “ as such looked upon as an evil necessity. Well you have got to eat.Once you have defeated the idiots any job is half done. Pity there are so many idiots to defeat.
