    Maybe your kid was sick because he had the bumper size pack. I'd do something about that before he turns into the side of a house...

      Ah. I see what you've done there. Good call, phone your parents up and tell them they owe you a replacement bike wheel. Good thinking Bunter.

          Never tried Lidl but some of the Aldi stuff is ok. We get the German cheeses and cured meats from there, s'good.

          Dunno what the brands are though, its all called Blinkelflumpel, and Floop etc. They do some good Lion bar copies called 'Roar', i'm quite partial to those.

              Some of the dried sausage and cheeses are good in Lidl, as are the staples for pasta sauce making; sundried tomatoes, wild mushrooms in oil, passata, olive oil etc. etc., and it's all cheaper than the 'big four' UK supermarkets.

              Our nearest one even has good quality, cheap fresh veg.
              The vegetarian option.

                Any good/bad experience with Lidl brands..?

                      That's cos you live in a decent area.

                      What Lidl's and Aldi's sell tends to reflect the area they are based in and near.

                      There is no point selling sundried tomatoes if people in the local area don't eat them.

                      Anyway both shops often have some good gardening bargains as long as you have a clue about the plants and seeds you want to buy. The seeds tend to be completely different varieties from the ones sold in other UK outlets.
