Just got one here in Vallentuna, and in my eyes they stink!

You?

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

But they only got underwear and electronic stuff. Hard to find food in there

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.

quite a few of them around here infact, but never set a foot inside one.
a friend of mine worked in one of them, but had to quite when the roof was starting to come down...

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.

my mother in law got some nice velcro from there on Saturday...
mmmm...

was it a south of the equator velcro and if so was it a cabernet sauvignon velcro, cause they're very nice?

We also have Willy's over here. They are ace

Lidls = Chavtastic.

spoken like a true scotsman...

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 ).

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).

my information was based on my cousin Anne's husband's recommendation, they live in Sheffield.
now go figure Burn

One word darlings, one word - Waitrose!

*hides before she gets called a ponce*

They do great choccie orange biccies and very cheap scotch pies

Not over here

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 .

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".

Precisely. I could not have put it better myself. Horrid. Absolutely horrid.

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.

"Netto Fabulous"
