My wife thought the crispy seaweed (how are they allowed to call it that???), was microwavable.

A new microwave went on the credit card this morning....

i've never tried doing that.... i am guessing it isn't microwaveable??

I'm guessing that as OP had to buy a new microwave it was still in it's foil tray?

ha, yes i did wonder. I figured it may have been something artificial in the seaweed given that it isn't actually seaweed.

Aldi appears to have scrapped the bakery post covid, and Waitrose pre-bag a lot of the stuff up now.

I'm following the 'Pistonheaders and their First World Problems.' thread on Pistonheads and people are talking about shops called Aldi and Lidl and I have no idea what they are talking about. I may ask my staff, despite the inconvenience of having to do so.

I will save you the effort. It is that place that the plebs/scum class go to buy food and random tat because they are too poor to have a butler get things ordered in on their behalf. In fact they are too poor to have a butler.

I had to go in there the other day (covid ripping through the staff quarters) and it seems like there are the dross you would expect but also the "wealth whispers" brigade in their Old Subarus and tweed.

I bought croissants in Lidl, Aldi and Tesco this week. I was definitely on a roll.

M&S all butter croissants are the ones to go for IMO. Often out of stock at my local m&s garage.

Microwaved deep fried cabbage (or whatever it is) killed your microwave? Crikey.

Nobody is stupid enough to microwave a foil tray! Even my 5 year old knows that.

Whilst it's admirable that you've had your kids trained to cook your dinner, I hope this is just on the staff's day off.

The wife’s got a Hyundai i20 hire car at the moment, it’s a fairly basic car but it’s got a heated steering wheel! I was quite surprised!

We may have finished the butter in the special Christmas Butter pack before Christmas. Then what?

Surely you enjoyed saving the £130 in fuel?
