And just one other point buzz. I think you said something about feeling you were in an eastern bloc emporium or such like. I assume you are referrin g to how Aldi shelves its goods directly in their original cardboard boxes etc.

I have NO problem with THAT
The bulk of the small amount of processed food I consume comes from the

SPC/Ardmona bulk warehouse

in Ballarat - with a top-up from the local Coles

I prefer to stick with

reputable brand names

You don't appear to even have a CLUE - to what a "gated community" IS

La Jolla Real Estate has become one of the most expensive areas in the nation, boasting some of the country's most wealthy people. Many of the Forbes 400 richest Americans live in La Jolla. Numerous La Jolla homes are considered luxury estate homes.

The landscape of La Jolla real estate today, is shaped by its development with palm-lined streets, large estate homes and gated developments.

Enlighten us.

Three pages back you declared La Jolla as America's largest gated community.
I live there so go on tell me how the whole place is a gated community.

You seem to live your life looking things up.

May explain why you are so divorced from the real world and the pressures ordinary families have in their budget.
Either that or you simply don't care.

I find it hard to make a price comparison on a can of SPC pears - and a can pakaged in Chechnya

Utterly clueless.

Never run a family.
Never had children.
Never run a family budget.

About as in touch with an ordinary family's shopping budget as Julia Gillard - also unmarried and never had children.

No, come on, I thought we were having a sensible discussion here.
I always check the source of products I buy and I have yet to see any Chechnya-sourced products in Aldi. I do see Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Thailand but ,ostly I see Australia.
You do know that SPC were taken over by National Foods (I had shares) who were in turn taken over by some Filipino mob & again & again. In any event they are not Australian owned any more.

I live in a gated community in La Jolla.

La Jolla HAS gated communities.

La Jolla is NOT a gated community itself you idiot.

By the way, how about your commune clubbing together and keeping out foreign-owned businesses.

Hypocrite?

Yep, but then again when haven't you been a hypocrite.

Criticised me for not paying tax - then admitted you pay very little yourself.

Same old Buzz, never changes.

It is NOT gated community.
