I would but I'm staying up north at the stinky power station until
Sunday evening and then I'm heading for Muscat on Monday so we'll not
be crossing paths.

Email a snail mail address to either myself or Adie and we'll pop
something in the post to you.

I prefer to think of them as having an excellent price/quality ratio.

snobbishness aside, the main problem I have with Lidl is that their
stock is fairly random. Plus they only ever seem to have one till (out
of 4) open. Their fresh produce is perfectly OK, mind - way better
than the likes of Morrisons or Asda.
