Alas, we don’t have Aldi in Canada, which is an outrage because they’ve got Aldis in several of the states in the U.S. So unfair! We don’t have Lidl, either. (All our ‘discount’ grocery stores in Ontario are subsidiaries of the larger chain grocers: Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro.) Canada is a risky market for retailers, as our population is just over half that of the UK.
Oh, I don’t think it failed. Looks to me like Agnes has become a mousey-hostage herself. Negotiations for a prisoner trade must surely ensue!
