šŸ˜† When I Saw This I Laughed Or At Least I Smiled Or At Least I Wasn't Bored

I guess even in these times we all have to tighten our belts and downgrade the standard of staff / visitors’ food from M&S and Waitrose. What next, Tesco, Lidl or Aldi? :scream:

How common.

There’s one in Hythe. Veg etc looks good. Doesn’t seem to last though. Own brand beer is a travesty. But random on how everything is laid out as well as the ā€œspecial offersā€.

Reminds me of the time Mrs C_S tried to spend Ā£100 in the Lidl in Leatherhead…The special offer was diving gear in landlocked Surrey :roll_eyes:

True story, last time I was in Lidl the woman in front of me at the checkout suddenly asked the cashier to have a pack of carrots changed because she’d just noticed they were off. She then said she couldn’t understand why she’d picked it up because she always checks stuff she is buying, I quipped that it had probably gone off while she was queuing. And I was only half joking, their fruit and veg is atrocious.

So wanted to alter Cob’s quote there… a simple vowel, but that would have been juvenile

It is Lady Slowlane’s account (in name only), Chambers does the online jiggery-pokery.

I’m disappointed. You’ve let yourself down, and you’ve let the site down.

I may be going out on a limb here, but is your love for LIDL based on the intersection of brands that appear in both the UK and Poland?

They have been known to have a couple of decent bottles in there. Unfortunately you have to Wade through lakes of shite to find it

And your liver is still in one piece ? :wink:

Or. It could be the only place in the village where the fresh meat counters dont actually smell rank.

Mrs P_F was shown how to wash the chicken portions in brine each morning when she worked in a ā€œdeliā€ style one here. Dont go there anymore

Auchan is the best all round for choice but it’s a hoik to the edge of town which is Covid central.

Lidl have a Spanish week this week. Munching on Anchovy stuffed olives. Nom nom nom

Easy enough to just buy the Barolo
