My apologies, I looked back and saw no one had answered the original question.

Looks like "merco" at 125 kph from the motorway!! But I do finally concede! :-)

MikeJ

You do know that the speed limit is 120kph 😂😂😂

neil77

Damn, my memory is fading, I thought it was 125! thats why I put that figure! Speed was probably far in excess of that, hence my inability to see the sign accurately!

Thank you Everyone!
Sorry to be so late in replying, I didn't get notifications so only just seeing most of the responses now. I will go and review my settings.
And yes, The Captain's Watch, you are correct, I was meaning Thrift store as in charity shop. However, all the other info is also useful.
I look forward to being there at the end of August.

The new commercial centre in Lepe has decent and less expensive housewares shops, also a Worten (which has Cat6 cables ! 🤣) and Decathlon, and Burger king if you get desperate while shopping.

Hi CW Errrr,...... I hope I answered it in the second post, Ruth was looking for a proper cup and saucer, for her daily cuppa/Rosie Lee 😀 I think easy to find in both the thrift shops and others.

As ever on the forum we got 'chatting' and I'm glad that I heard about the cash & carry which I actually went to (to check it out & post opening times) ..... and the new commercial centre in Lepe ( that I didnt know about either, thanks MikeJ). I will check that out soon as well.

This forum is fantastic, for finding out about 'stuff'

Hi Jon, which Comerco did you go to? The big one at the far end of the poligono (next to the mway services) was definitely closed today with a police notice taped to the front door.

neil77

You've got the right building, but go round the back which is slightly lower and you'll come to the entrance of Comerco, the 'cash and carry' business. The shop at the front which is closed up with the police notice was NGI or MGI.

MikeJ

Bugger! Saw the sign but thought it was pointing to the entrada we could see. Will have to go back. Thanks.

Hi Mike this was mentioned previously when I posted that the store was in fact open with the photos etc

We were there a few days ago, some great deals e.g you can buy 33cl cans of Mahou classic beer for 30c.!!! (I guess you have to buy a 'brick') Cruzcampo cans cheaper than Mercadonna. A litre of Skol lager for 62c .......... Errrrr

........... They sell loads of other things than booze though and some great prices. You'll see the website in this thread - where I am sure they have their deals. They also publish a paper with the deals every 2 weeks (I think). These I think are the 'specials' and like LIDL, I am sure its 'while stocks last'

PS Maybe see you for the England match again? Belgium at the usual place.........

MikeJ

Haven't quite worked it out yet as the match clashes with qually at the British GP at Silverstone. Might rush down to the GC in time for the penalties😀

Now Now .. don't 'get ahead of yourself', Lewis Hamilton maybe able to that in the GP.... but the footy is different!
