Aldi under garments are as good if not better than any others I've used.
They should be coming up soon as a special buy and there less than £20 for the top and the bottoms.

Yep in full agreement with that. Far better than the Alpinestars stuff i have.
For spring and autumn some merino wool under garments are the best. EDZ do some decent ones.

Yes agree the Merino wool is good for when the temperature drops. I'm actually taking mine to Lapland although I think there will be little bike riding I am going to try and get my knee down in a snowmobile

For me I'm after trackday vouchers. I'm asking for them off anyone who wants to club together to give me a joint present. Other than that I will buy myself some gloves at Motorcycle Live. I'd love to get a new helmet but there's nothing wrong with mine despite being 3 years old - could do with a clean though!!
As for under-gear garments... I always use my lycra sportsgear underneath. I never wear long sleeve unders though as I have sizeable forearms and the extra thickness cuts off circulation. For the bottom half I wear lycra shorts. At Donington I got so hot I wore just my lycra shorts and nothing on my top half (beneath the leather)
