LIDLs do it again is all I'm saying ...... they constantly show how much these things can actually be sold for!!

I bought 2 - a chromed classy one for the MX5 and the blingy one for the Scooby .... seems to suit it well!!

Indeed, I trust LIDL stuff as much as I do M&S stuff ...... and a damned sight more than TESCO or ASDA or any of the others!!

Meat pies are REALLY full of meat ... not the ****e that TESCO sells.

And when they sell other stuff it's top quality gear - why should the Pikeys and Chavs have it all??

Get down to your local LIDLs and reclaim it!!!!!!

That's a great sense of humour you have there. You should keep it unused, it might be worth something one day.

And on a bbs it would be libel, but you can't make a defamatory statement about a company anyway.

Lidls dont make nowt. Asda and im sure all the rest inc Tesco sell quality goods that others produce and then copy the formula and produce in-house MOST USUALLY producing something way inferior. Ive tried a few things from lidls and havnt been dissapointed.

True, LIDLs don't make nowt - but, what they sell in their stores is TOP NOTCH stuff!!

Food and non-food, you can buy with utter confidence in 2 things:-

1. It will be the best quality

and

2. It will not be found cheaper anywhere else

They continue to amaze me .............................. now, how to get the Pikies and Chavs to go somewhere else????

LIDL stuff is good. Cause the food is often sourced from Europe imported, where as Tesco stuff etc is made in UK.

Tins of tomatoes and olive oil for example. Cheaper than tesco and are actually often proper italian made. Olive oil is at least £3.00 cheaper, extra virgin etc.

Agaijn not car related. ALDI were selling crash helmets bikes, £30.00 bargain if you got a small bike eg. 50 or 125cc. Shop price in bike shop minimum £50.00

Only downside is ya cant do whole shop there. So its often easier to use TESCO get it all done in one hit!

LIDL import all the products from direct from there distribution warehouses out there,all there products are sourced from europe,where it is cheaper,thus allowing them to sell on cheaper

Lidl make there profit from working there management and staff like dog's,always short staffed and company senior management always putting more and more pressure on there managers to achieve better(and always) un-achievable and ridiculious productivity targets

I used to work for the german dictatorship for four and a half years,enough was enough!!!!!!

whats that old saying

S**T rolls down hill

£4.99 for a gear **** with led's on,that sounds nice pete,dont forget the chrome effect plastic car matts on your next visit matey

makes sense that does. £1.19 for a 660ml bottle, or go to a club/bar and pay £3.80 for a 330ml bottle. yep makes perfect sense to me now. must stop drinking wife beater!!!
