It's very pikey, to be fair. But I go early in the morning on my day off so I don't have to shop with the usual pikey customers ;-) > You're right though, their produce is better than some of the big > supermarkets.

Yup, they're good for alcohol, fresh veg. and some furrin 'speciality' foods - how anyone can do a weekly shop in there, I'll never know. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC #

I actually think its excellent if you take care what you buy. Like you say, the alcohol is a steal. Some basic foods are good value too. I actually reckon there's a lower pikey factor than one of the localish tescos too.

When I go to any supermarket I push and load my trolly, I don't converse with anyone except staff about the goods and I avoid collisions with other punters then I pay and go. I can't see how the social class of the other punters effects me at all. they may be pikeys or not, only those shoppers of a snobbish inclination would even notice. It's got a lot to do with peer pressure, Alan, a bank manager who I know socially would not consider shopping in tesco just in case a visitor to his house spied the tesco wrappings in his fridge.

Depends: if you can actually *smell* them, or their multiple badly-behaved kids are running under your trolley at every moment. Point taken though. One of the reasons I actually don't mind shopping at Lidl is that some of the products are good and I don't mind what type of person is nearby, provided they leave me alone and let me get on with the tedious task at hand. > > It's got a lot to do with peer pressure, Alan, a bank manager who I > know socially would not consider shopping in tesco just in case a > visitor to his house spied the tesco wrappings in his fridge. > > :-O Not very financially sensible....
