PEOPLE WATCHING

[bigpaul]

I agree people shopping in Lidl and Aldi is not a barometer of how the economy is going, although it does mean that people are watching the pennies more than they did before, mind you a lot are there for the cheap wine!!! most folks around here if they are working are either on minimum wage or they commute to places like Exeter(60 mile round trip) or Plymouth (80 mile round trip) if they want a better job. I'm a bit out on a limb here as far as the economy and stuff is concerned so I can only say as I find, further afield or in a city or big town things may be different.
