A LIDL is never decent.
They are well known to be the worst when it comes to staff treatment. The internet is full with stories about their staff being bullied, overworked (often unpaid) and just treated like dirt.

There's a reason LIDL is cheap, and it's not because they can source their products cheaper.
The people of Berkhamsted are right wanting to keep LIDL out.

It got me thinking, the divide in the South West appears to be getting bigger and bigger, and the arguments more vocal every time the commoner muck raises it's voice.
Commoner muck and toffee nosed twits?

It's probably more about vested interests who don't want to be undercut by Lidl as it is about class warfare.
I agree with those saying that we never left it, but now it's as much about relative income and wealth as about lifestyle. It always was really but in the past the correlation between affluence and lifestyle was much greater.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Lidl's half-price weekend deals amount to a bit more than 2p off. And their coffee's cheap.....Have you been reading the Beano from 1950?
Can you still get the Beano? Do they still have Lord Snooty?0
