Today was Lidl Day! I love Lidl on several counts: Bargains, unusual items & the guys on the check-out.
Richard & Darren were our check-out masters for today. Camp as Christmas & always up for a bit of banter.
As I went up to the tills they were arguing about the correct bar-code for a pomegranate & it looked like it was going to be handbags at dawn.
DARREN: 'Oh shut up! You wouldn't know a pomegranate from a sweet potato'
LIDL RICHARD: (To me) 'Oh take no notice of that bitch! He's 'on'. Now then missy, do you want our lovely brochure featuring our OUTSTANDING Christmas promotions? Ere, stick it in yer basket'
DARREN: 'Don't take anything off him, he's UNCLEAN'
The elderly couple at Darren's till really didn't know what to make of it all & busied themselves putting their obviously impulse purchase of 10 pineapples into carrier bags. That's another thing I like about Lidl - the way your brain just disobeys everything rational. I agree, 59p is a good price for a pineapple but really ........
Me & Paul went one day & the 'for one week only' range of strange goods was snorkelling equipment. Quite cheap it was too. Something you'd like to buy & stuff in the back of a cupboard because you neeever knooooooooooow (& besides, you've never seen flippers THAT cheap .... EVER) I irrationally puchased a sewing machine a few months ago. Can't even thread the damned thing & even if I could, I can't sew.
My favourite item has to be 'Gerodog' dogfood priced 64p. I like the brand-name. It sounds like a command! Presumably if you're buying dogfood you've already 'Goradog' though.
"HELP! WE'VE BEEN BURGLED!"
"GERODOG!"
RANDOM ITEM NO.8
Another television.

Lidl is great, but yours sounds far more fun than ours. We get bored looking zombies on our tills. Perhaps Richard and Darren should do a training tour! :)
Netto currently stock magnetic arm bands, so you can have a screw wherever you go! Handy. And much better than diving gear. Unless you are actually going diving.
