Was reading just now Lidl´s Easter offer in norniron . Hotcross buns brought back memories. Was shopping today here in Lidl and was attracted by an offer, a duck,fresh, plucked and gutted for €8,08. Did not buy as a duck for us two as it would have been too much. It brought back memories of Hilden and my childhood when a chicken at Xmas ( sorry Ann Christmas) was a luxury. In the Belfast Tele was a report that Lidl are planning to open another 50 stores in UK and Ireland as the demand has increased for such discounters. Times have changed,some time ago when active I attended a discussion about discounters and a very prominent politician in his contribution spoke about his childhood when his mother bought products from Aldi , coffee was one and being ashamed she had shopped there filled the coffee into an empty bag from a prominent more expensive company. Today she is proud to let everyone know she got a bargain. His closing words still are remembered by me " Price never guaranties quality"!
Who remembers the first discounter opening in Lisburn? Beside the Top Hat, Crazy Prices facing the Dublin Rd.

Before this forum disappears, as seems likely, I thank you for all the times you wrote stuff relating to my background.

hi Donald I replied but got spamed

Sorry I haven't been on for a few days. I have been getting the house tidied and preparing food for my youngest daughter and her husband. They arrived today for the Easter weekend. Donald, I well remember when a chicken was a luxury. I also remember that my mother never bought chocolate biscuits. With a family of 4 boys and myself (Pat was married) they wouldn't have last 5 minutes. Fig rolls and Rich tea were the order of the day. Happy Easter to all.
