Bloody Lidl

The topic under discusion are the plastic baskets on wheels which you drag along the ground. There is no question of anyone keeping them "in their hands."

The shelf at the end of the conveyer which was formerly found in Lidl was for hand baskets. Many branches no longer supply hand baskets and so those shelves were removed.

Well, your Lidl must have had a special offer on baskets. The ones at all the Lidl near here have two handles - one for towing it on wheels, and one for using it like an ordinary basket.

The ones on our Lidl have dual handles. You can either use them a low trolleys or carry them as a basket. The store also has proper trolleys in

The carry handle height is half the width of the basket, and folds flush. Your baskets are 36" wide?

I'd guess you've never actually seen one. Or more likely missed the other handle.

And a brain damaged alcoholic cutting in with yet another thing he has no knowledge of...

Quite. Perhaps things are different elsewhere?

The ASDA ones don't look like that. There's a separate yellow plastic bit that rotates around the wheel and jams.

Too much to expect you to do other than copy me. That's another sign of brain damage, Jim.

BTW has your house fallen apart yet in the rain? Or simply settled a lot due to the mortar being washed away?

As I said, seek help for your fantasies.

Have you actually seen one yourself or are you simply copying what someone else posted ?

I explained in another post how I've personly witnessed old dears bending down to empty them.

So they're 18 inches high plus another 9 inches for the handle. Thats

The ideal height would be to the fingertips minus six inches. Allowing the person to carry the thing without having to bend the arm too much

My own fingertips are around 25 inches off the ground.

You now what comes next. Do the math.

Funny old world. You'd think where Charles lives they'd be knee deep in Waitrose and M&S. My nearest Lidl is much smaller than his, they even stopped stocking tomato puree, yet we've got both both a Waitrose and a big Sainsbury. And that's in an area that was on the slide and probably still is; if all the new "luxury" flats remain unsold.

Yep, soon you will queuing in the rain all day in the hope that the shop has a delivery of bread at sometime!

If there is going to be another lockdown don't forget to stock up with bog paper.

You're forgetting a no deal Brexit as well.

Nothing wrong with a brain damaged alcoholic.

It's the vegans that talk s**te.

I don't dare move from the queue in Aldi. I did that once and the new till was manned by my son - he -s not allowed to serve me. So I had to move my shopping AGAIN!

Dave Plowman (News) presented the following explanation :

The very same here and black plastic. They also have a choice of the big deep trolleys, a large but quite shallow one and a child size trolley.

I've seen one & used one.

In which case they should have used a proper trolley with a high level bottom, specifically designed for "old dears". My Lidl has them.

We have them, but Lidl have opened 2 near here this year with a 3td on tehn way, Theer are also Tesco (who share a site with M&S) Morrisons, etc.

Waitrose have closed 18 stores in the last couple of years and announced 4 more recently. Two around here that closed have become Lidl and Iceland, I hear one of the announced ones will become a Tesco.

The only real attraction of Lidl for me was a big one a good few miles away which did power and hand tools and similar. But then the stuff was so cheap relatively speaking that there was a temptation to buy things you didn't really need and may possibly never find a use for. So I give that a miss now. The smaller local one was ok for things like tomato puree, free range eggs, and similar. But they've now been price matched/beaten by at least one the majors for a lot of things. Who in any case open an hour or two earlier. And there are things that even the big ones either simply don't stock or keep too well hidden.
