Remoaners: despite Brexit.
Everyone else: who cares? It's great for the UK whatever the reason.
Could you stop with the 'Good News Threads' please, it upsets the Remainers, who now have to look very closely at the way Aldi is organised, and when they find it is a store that sells cheaper food than some of the bigger names it will become the poor man's Lidl
The supermarket snobs will be along shortly to say it isn't good news at all because Lidl's aren't upmarket enough and Britain is going to the dogs because people are so poor because of Brexit that they have to shop in cheap stores

Its because of Brexit, or more specifically because the Brexit vote caused a drop in sterling's value vis á vis the dollar and the euro.. Low sterling plus single market membership has benefitted many sectors of the economy. Ideally - if you were thinking about nothing other than the economy - you would stay in the EU and find some way to convince the money markets that you were constantly on the verge of leaving.
That won't happen though, so expect at least some of this good news to turn sour after Brexit actually happens.

If it's good news "we haven't left yet"

True, but I couldn't fit it in the thread title.

It is good news, and I hope other employers follow suit with the pay rise.
However, I'm not sure if it's got anything to do with the referendum result or impending Brexit as to why an international supermarket chain would continue investing in a country with potentially tens of millions of customers....
I use Ocado, or shop in Waitrose if I need to buy something urgently.... I have no time for dealing with paupers

The Pound against the Dollar and the Euro has fluctuated all the time we have been in the EU sometimes a lot lower than it is today.
I can remember when people were saying it will be one Euro to one Pound if it drops much lower.
Its the currency market that do this not the Government the EU or the US it currency speculators .
Live it is said is for living let just get on with what we have has we have done many times before.

Certain posters on here were linking to airport exchange booths that were offering this for a short time whilst they cried blood into their morning coffee, declaring how doomed we all were. It was hilarious.
Supermarkets at the budget end of the market have been doing well since the banker-caused depression, so I'm not sure why Brexit is being mentioned here.

If you're right then surely Aldi already know all this and have priced it into their business plan, which includes creating jobs and giving a pay rise?
Maybe they've realised that an unlimited supply of cheap labour might not carry on and have decided they need to up their wages to make them more attractive to prospective employees?
Anyway, it's good news.
