Apparently Lidl heavily uses Greeks in Greece. And pay them €3.50 p/h or even less.
Just because it is from Lidl, it doesn't mean it's Made in Germany.

Well I look at the bit where it says "Made in", so it's at least assembled in Germany most of the time.

Good luck to them! I certainly won't be happy if my tax goes to pay for their mess up.

They've tried to have their cake and eat it, and just realised they can't.

It looks like they'll have their cake and eat it, and you'll be paying for it.

Sunderland is an example of people answering a referendum question that wasn't on the ballot paper.

What they were being asked was - do you want to stay in the EU?

What they were answering was any one of the following:

Do you dislike foreigners?
Do you want David Cameron to resign?
Do you dislike the government?
Is housing too expensive?
Is there too much immigration?
Do you despair over globalisation?

Well, news flash, irrespective of all this (some of which I sympathise with) none of it was on the actual ballot paper.

I thought the question that wasn't on the ballot paper was 'Do you want to give up your national identity and become part of the United States of Europe?' - As that is what a yes vote would have resulted in.

Have you ever been to Sunderland Toastie?

Or, like Scotland, is it just somewhere you read about online.

Oh, and don't you think it's a bit late to moan about the referendum question now?

'Which body of law should take precedence in the UK? A. UK law B. EU law.'

I wonder if it would have been as close as 52 - 48 if that was the question

How many people from Sunderland did you speak to in order to arrive at your opinion that those from Sunderland were too stupid to understand the referendum question?

Consider, just for a moment, that they understood the question perfectly. It is just you who doesn't like their answer to that question.

Get over yourself.
