Question Radio Controlled Sailing Yacht - LIDLs

Anyone else bought one of these bargains?

If you have I need some advice, a question which isn't answered in the Instructions.

How long are your strings on the booms?

If you have one and built it you will know what I mean

Hmmmm... more like beyond the tolerable tedium levels on here.

I know you are a wind up merchant, but for gods sake you are going too far with this one!

Well, just taken it to the local boating lake and it was clearly way too winding - it just went over on its side and wouldn't respond

Blew into the boating lake tunnels where they hold the row boats - had to wade into the freezing water to retrieve it

Anyone know how to sail one of these things? I now know why I have a model speedboat - it goes where I point it!!

Pete, why do you shop at Lidl ?

If you are indeed old and rich, why bother with Lidl, they are ok and have some bargains but I found you still needed to go to a proper shop for some stuff.

Jacko; surely you arent suggesting that Pete is neither old nor wealthy but that he is, in fact, a bit of a lonely, pompous man, of little substance, who talks crap on t'internet in lieu of a real life and to make himself feel more important?

Say it isnt so.....

In answer to the above ...... LIDL give you M&S Quality at TESCO Prices - cannot say fairer than that!!

Being rich or poor has no bearing on wanting quality stuff
