What do you think about Lidl?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

They're cheap. I love 'em!
Not as good as home bargains though - To get to Lidl I've gotta get a lift to Buxton - Home bargains can be reached by bus ;D

Lidl is for the common people. I never go. Nor Kwik Save. I'm strictly Sainsburys, complete with Nectar Points.

Though I was surprised how much better the Netto in Copenhagen was compared with ones over here.

I would keep my eye on their wine selection, they have a very good wine buyer, believe it or not, who picks up end of line selections for a snip and sells them on at a very keen price.

They're building one down the road from my work. It's going to cause traffic congestion for months. All the local neighbours have complained and campained about it. The council don't want it, but have agreed planning permission (go figure :roll: ).

The one we already have in town causes major congestion as everyone tries to park there because it is free parking and they all line up and block the entrance to the Multi-story a bit down the street.

I hate that cut price filth store. Plus most of the people who shop in it around here are usually the lower ends of the human chain (you know, just like the people who appear on Trisha).

I have it on good authority that their catfood is s**t. However, Lidl is good for cheap tins of tomatoes, pasta, puree, Danish butter cookies and Spekulatius biscuits at Christmas time. Also, the cheap Bellarom chocolate is still better than most British chocolate and costs a lot less.

They're German aren't they? So they must be good.

I get annoyed when people call 'em "Lee-dle", not "Lie-del".

Only go to marks and sainsbury's though, 'cos I'm so very posh ;D .

But "Lee-dle" is the correct pronunciation - I'm assuming "Lie-del" is rhyming with "Idol" here. I've never heard anyone call it "Lie-del" - most people I know just say "Liddle".

You?
There is a Lidl store opening very soon and very near to where my wife and I currently live. This is not good news. I am thus happy to report that we are moving to another area later this year.

What about the slightly superior Netto? This is often pronounced 'Neeto's' here as though it were a breakfast cereal. Equally irritating.
