    I never understand why people compare Lidl and Aldi with super valu , dunnes stores , Tesco etc. Completely different shops that sell completely different brands. You can’t compare prices in that case. It’s like comparing Dacia with Audi, sure they do the same thing , get u from A to B but , different product completely.

    Thought dacia and audi were both car manufacturers, but I must be wrong

    A few times during my career (ha!), I was expected and entreated to screw people over, treat them like dirt etc.

    I may be a lot of things but I'm too proud to do that.

    US Multinational or Sales role?

    As regards the supermarkets, can people not use their senses? Aldi pasta is grand of a week night but at the weekend and I want something nice it's down to Supervalue and pay through the nose for Rummo pasta.
    As regards people's great butchers, ask them for a bit of shin on the bone or tongue or something. Chances are they'll have to order it in because they aren't really butchers, just meat unpacker/displayers. Bugger all butchers killing themselves anymore, it's all comingfrom a couple of factories. My mother God bless her was on about the chicken fillets from a certain butchers and how good they were. I asked her where such and such butchers chicken farm was?

    Did you enjoy bursting her bubble?

    Thats simply not true. Theirs a few brand names that are a little better but other than that theirs very little difference quality wise so they will always be compared. People are still blinded by brand names and most of the time just paying more for the same thing.

    I'm not so sure it was pride that stopped you treating people like dirt.

    “Mum, you know they ain’t Evian ice cubes?”

    Look for a reference from a specific person in a company having left on very bad terms with that individual?


    No I would never do that.

    I am far too proud. One of my worst faults.

    Too good for everyone and everything.

    Get a cleaner. I know a lazy fu.ck who pays some Polish one to clean their house. I'd sooner sit in filth than have someone clean up after me.

    Needless to say I usually am surrounded by filth.

    We both work full time with 2 kids, I leave money on the counter and a key under the mat, a girl comes in once a a week and has the place spotless when we are at work. She is glad of the money and I’m glad of the service. I then spend my free time playing with my kids and not scrubbing the floors.... win win all round for what’s essentially the price of a take away...
    People have weird perceptions of people who use cleaners, I’m anything but lazy, I work my ass off and make sure my kids have great memories of time spent with me. Someone offers a service to assist me with that, I’d be mad not to use it.
    But if you enjoy sitting in filth... well that’s a different story

    Depends. Probably not a great lesson for your kids and cleaning up can be good for fun and discipline. Utopia can be dystopia. But our society and economic setup requires such a setup. For better or worse.

    I'm not a proud person, and there's very little I won't do for a fair wage. I've worked some pretty unglamorous jobs over the years: fairground worker, shelf-stacker, night-porter, cloakroom attendant, fruit picker but I'd sell my hole in the Phoenix Park before I'd work for Fianna Fail.

    Aragh, sure she's just a failed Fianna Fáil-er.

    Sinn Fein don't even let their TDs take their full pay, they'd fail the "fair wage" test. ;)
