The boring thread.....

Ah the battle with the checkout operator - familiar as were the earlier observations. I was in Lidl today which lived up to your standards entirely starting in the car park with some dawk wandering across the main entrance roadway not looking with a phone up to their ears. It went downhill from there.

Keep these coming!  🤣🤣

Good morning GM, you are up early. Just one more tale in the Asda Saga series to come...but there is
A Ripping Yarn in production in order to celebrate the anniversary of Operation Overlord next month.
Play your cards right and there might be a part in it for you 😜

Today at 11:33:45 AM

Lidl, is that a posh Aldi? I believe there is one local but I am not allowed there, apparently they sell plants too, SWMBO says I have too many.

I'm going to plant loads of Lavender to fill a spot that is bare ..

Very similar.

From observation of both Lidl do tend to have slightly better car parks. That may be because the ones I've been to have all been new builds while the Aldis have been stores taken over from previous businesses. Cars have got bigger but old car park spaces haven't.

The aisles do seem to be a little wider. This really only offers a small challenge to determined stackers who can and do completely block them. Some customers try but as they only do this as a hobby rather than a profession they have to operate in pairs to get close to any success. Much easier to shove their trolleys out of the way than the heavy shelf stacking ones.

I live in Supermarketland.  All within a few minutes drive.

Our local Aldi car park has electric chargers!  It shares space with Home Bargains and Iceland. Class!  The local Lidl has a basic car park.  Asda car park is under the store. Like Sainsbury's, nice on a hot day. We have a Tesco, with a bog standard car park. Morrison's is on two levels, it's in what was a genuine Army Barracks, Vlad, you would like the buildings I'm sure.

I love Lavender and have 5 or 6 pots on the patio.

I like Lavender too.

I've got some purple ones,  and a couple of white ones too. 
Just taken some cuttings.

I've never had any luck with cuttings even when I followed You Tube
