There are Aldi , FarmFoods , and Lidl stores allover the M62 corridor so most , if not all , of the items you list , should be available to him at very reasonable prices should he choose to move to the north of this fine country of ours .
Furthermore . Blackpool , Morecambe . Skegness , Scarboro and Bridlington etc have some fine beaches where you often see people on surfboards .
