More bike stuff at Lidl 7th April

[Arthur]

Lidl will have some more bike stuff in on 7th April... Most of it looks like tat, but I'm happy with the 35 piece tool set I picked up last year, which contains most of the stuff I need for casual fettling.

Edit: Oops. Thanks, Nutty

Don't confuse me

Thread title says 7th May.  OP says 7th April.

(And no doubt I'll go to Aldi anyway )

Honestly Nutty it's quite easy to tell the difference. Aldi is a German company that sells stuff cheap. Whereas Lidl is a German company that sells stuff cheap.

Ahh, I was hoping for a German company that sold cheap stuff.  That seems to be neither of the above.

You're obviously not trying

Penny Market - They are all over Europe so I bet they are in UK somewhere?

Tchibo if you live in a nice middle-class town.

Don't buy the cordless cycle computer from the latter. Mine reads 75 mph+ whenever I cycle past someone using a mobile phone

At only 2.5kg and £20 I'm tempted to buy the tent for emergency use only, I hate camping!  I thought if hotels/B&Bs (only got a few booked) were not to be found when I go to Normandy in June, it might get me out of a corner.  Anyone care to own up to having one?

So, who's going to trust their bike to the £1.99 lock?

How about Netto?  That's a Danish company that sells stuff at low prices.

I thought it was German owned (Or at least it used to be when I lived in Denmark)

I thought it was as well initially, bearing in mind the traditional lines of minimalist stores, loads of goods with foreign names, having to pay for plastic bags etc etc, but it turns out it's part of the Maersk shipping group.

That reminds me of a little rhyming question someone once passed onto me.

Q.   What's yellow & black and full of cr*p?

A.    A Netto bag.
