the award-winning eco-friendly Sainsbury's in North Greenwich is being replaced by a bigger dull shed a bit up the road:

So sad. That store really is something special.

Is it not because Lidl stores generally have exactly the same layout irrespective of which one you go to?

Not true and not what's being discussed.

We have two Lidl's in Ipswich, one in London Road and the other on the Nacton Estate. Both are very different in layouts, and both don't stock all of the same items either.

Er, it is and it is. I was arguing that it's easier for Lidl to rebuild to maintain a common planogram across the estate.

You're talking out of the wrong end of your body, Mr Schneider.

There are three Lidls withing striking distance of me, all with completely different layouts.

Fair enough. The four round me are all identical to the point I forget where I am!

What's a UKIP supporter doing frequenting Lidl? All that foreign muck and ferretting profits back to the MutterLand? Dear oh dear.

I thought it was a requirement, in order to be a member of Metropol, to pop into Lidl for a big German sausage at least once.

Actually, the one thing that Lidl do do, better than nearly everywhere else, is chorizo sausage, to go in jumbalaya.

So, I can honestly say that I have consumed a big sausage from Lidl.
