I thought his dad was a lid twister in a raspberry-jam factory? Retired in about 1987, didn't he, and still has a sideline job advising the British Association of Runner Bean Winders?? Anyway, I've heard of all this dog-napping that's going on, and it makes my blood boil. Poor things! Tank targets! The RSPCA will be furious! ... View more

Lib wrote: The 1litre size of organic semi-skimmed milk has gone, in favour of the 2 litre size, which I find to be too heavy to lift out of the fridge and also it is just that bit too large for the shelf in my fridge door. Then there are the dark chocolate digestive biscuits that have shrunk in size for the same price. I have been cheated! And now I discover that they have changed the brand of cranberry juice from Solevita to Naturis. The Solvita had the usual that you would expect, which was water, cranberry juice from concentrate, sugar and vitamin C. The new Naturis one has sugar and sweetener, and the other ingredients include carrot concentrate and blackcurrant concentrate, as well as cranberry juice from concentrate and water. It is truly awful! I have thrown the rest of it down the drain! The sweetener has ruined it, let alone knowing that there are other things in it you would not expect. I will not be buying the Naturis one again, sorry Lidl. I am one very disappointed customer over this. And I am not well pleased about the other things that have recently changed as well.   O don't know about the package size and convenience - I prefer price as a benchmark. That said, the use of litres seems to me to be used by some retailers to do down the customer. Things that "have shrunk for the same price" *really* annoy me.   Speaking of being annoyed, I see you mention the juice. Now you've done it! The very good "Vitafit" multivitamin juice was changed for a substantially inferior one (Solevita in litres=less vitament content/variety, Naruris in 200ml cartons=less vitamin content/variety/nutrition badly mis-labelled/more expensive). Grr!   Now I'm going off for a nice cup of tea and think of flowers and things instead. ... View more

No. And a fat fee, this so you can't pass the ticket on. If you buy a few items and park for 90 mins the rest of us can't park for our big shop. Its not fair to park there and go to other shops. When we shop the car park is often full but the shop quiet, that is the reason these things get brought in. @User1@Kfs6669@Eccles@Tanith Who says I park in Lidl car parks without shoppingf there?   No way.

Suggestion:   Sort out the length of the queues at the tills.

The problem (from visiting several different branches) is getting worse. I don't see why people should wait 15 minutes to buy their stuff. ... View more
