Nothing wrong with what you are seeing DK! Both cables on sale lack MCB and RCD! The only protection is a very rudimentary THERMAL cutout! Meaning, the products are very wrong!
Normally, the (speculated!) 1.5mm cable would not be a problem, as the units should not exceed 10A total load as determined by the 10A MCB, and a 1.5mm cable is adequate for that, but these units could draw the full 16A capacity of the EHU Bollard, not so good!
Replaced our ageing folding table with the one on sale in ALDI at £19.99. Nice dark grey top and comes in a handy zipped carry bag. Also bought one of the Changing/Dry robes. £39.99 for an adult size. Windproof and with a nice warm fluffy lining. Very generous in size so probaly need one size smaller that you would normally buy clothes in. The Children's equivalent (which will also fit petite adults) is £29.99 https://www.aldi.co.uk/adults%27-crane-changing-robe/p/832182784011200

We have the actual/original DryRobe version.
For those unaware, they are changing robes.
Designed specifically for standing on the beach/river bank or similar, whipping off all your wet gear, drying yourself (either with a towel and/or the inner lining of the robe itself), and effectively getting re-dressed inside them. There's even a "secret" yet massive inside zipped pocket/compartment (In the DryRobe version) to carry your clean/dry replacement clothes and keep them literally within reach).
Hence the over-sized effect, including (importantly!) the ability to remove your arms from the sleeves to carry out the above change of clothes whilst "keeping one's dignity" in public!
Many Pros in many forms of watersports are big fans.
(And many "celebrities" have been keen to join the hype!)
They are, of course, equally suitable for idly sitting outside a tent on an otherwise chilly evening (Our main purpose for buying!)
And similarly, they could come in handy for that walk to and from the campsite shower block, which was how/where we first saw them in use back in Sept 2020, before going straight to Google, and pressing the Buy Button!
Don't downsize if you have any plans to use them for their intended purpose as a changing robe. Wet gear can be a bugger to wriggle out of!
We got an Aldi folding step (while I decide what to do with our intermittent electric one). Its legs fold flat so it’s no room to store, but the legs click out into place very positively.
Unfortunately, Aldi can’t stop the dog wrapping her lead around it.
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
