Actually yeah. People are sniffy about Lidl but they shouldn't be. The quality of the goods there is really good, it's just that there are less well known brand names there, there are lots of German branded items and things that are more for a German market or palate. My girlfriend is half German and has got me hooked on the place! The vegetables, meats and cheeses are awesome for instance. And, straight up genuine, I've halved my monthly grocery bills since shopping there. The stores a are a bit stacked up and all over the place though but perfectly clean at my local one on the Edgeware Road.
I recommend the pork and stilton sausages. And their shower Gel at around 40p is just as good as the Imperial Leather stuff I used to buy which was knocking 2 quid. Smells nice, thik, smooth, creamy, not at all chemically like most cheap gels you come across.
If you're a ready meals person though, there is less of a range. Also, Lidl now accept credit cards.Be great if they wer to go online. I was going to paste in the URL for a price comparison site but it was a bit meaningless when I read the text through.
Look after your money. Save it up for the access technology you really want. Slightly off topic so apologies. ...Damon----- Original Message ----- From: "Dj Paddy" <mygroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Graham. Lidl is cheap. Tesco is not.----- Original Message ----- From: Graham PageTo: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 10:00 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Tesco access website?but the food's cheap, they deliver well when they say they will and the main site is relatively accessible.Colin, for those of us living in London, we tend to use tesco because of the language and other difficulties that often exist when shopping meaning that assistants often have poor english skills or reading is not for whatever reason one of their strengths. Given your objection on ethical grounds, what would you suggest people use as an alternative?Don't say use local small shops either. Virtually all of them round here are now small bangladeshi places as that is the main local community. These shop owners will often be as helpful as possible but english really is an issue. Wouldn't wonder too near with a guide dog either as you might cause either shop owners or customers to have a heart attack!For these reasons, online shopping is particularly important.

Call me behind the times but I've only just gone to see the new accessible Tesco website. It's very disappointing.I've given up after taking 10 or 15 minutes to order a tray of baked potatoes and some tinned chick peas.It takes far too long now.Is anyone in touch with Nick Lansley from Tesco, about this? Are any changes in the pipeline?Thanks damon.rose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx skype: damonrose London, England. __________ NOD32 2363 (20070629) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
