North/South LIDL divide
02GF74 - 28/10/08 at 11:19 AM

Was up in B'hma pver weekend and popped into LIDL. They have open face bike helmets for £ 14.99. Tried on a Large and was nice fit, should have bought it there and then ... so yesterday, back down sowf, went to 3 LIDLs to try to buy. Not sold down south its seems, only full face ones.

Really kicking myself, not only did it cost petrol and time but also 50 p parking!!

Has anyone else notice different items being sold to northerners and southerners in LIDL?

Hi,

I believe with LIDL it is very much up to the manager what he wants to sell, they are given a list of items and they then select the items they think will sell in their store, it is one of the reasons why Aldi and Lidl pay good salaries.

Regards

Lets face it they cant get any ugglier up there so no need to send up full face helmets.

Sorry john hayes is the mother of all uggliness in the south, i reckon it should be flattened to make the airport bigger

leave it bob or ill send the hayes town boyz after you,you wouldnt want camels in your garden would you?

The only time i have been scared in hayes was when someone i upset said they would send the finnegans round, the thought of having richard and judy in my front room was enough for me to back down.

Anyway back to the point hayes lidl isnt that far away from SW herts so could be worth a call.

theconrodkid - 28/10/08 at 12:14 PM

the finnegans are more punch and judy than richard and judy....be afraid,very afraid

They live round my neck of the wood. In fact I know exactly where they live.... except the court order prevents me going near there

Richard often shops in our local M+S. He even pays

Must admit, i agree. Although the women are better looking down here. Thats probably why i struggle to find one

Helmets are for puffs, bikers, and of course shandy drinking soft as sh*te southerners.

I wouldn't buy one if it wer a quid.
