I can understand Edmund's anger at the article, though: It wasn't about the BNP being racist.

I now have 4 drills for instance (one of which has sat in its packaging for 2 years...) I think Arthur C has hit right on the problem with lidl – you go in and buy crap just because it is cheap.

Last week, I got a 25lb can of dog food there for the eqivalent price of 9p a tin, way cheaper than Chum, or Pal, or any of the big name brands. It was such good value that I had to buy it, even though I don't own a dog. I love Lidl.

The only thing that was lacking from them that would have made them truly heaven on earth were Betamax video cassettes of 1970s BBC sitcoms. And British Rail sandwiches. And a black and white TV playing the video for Cliff Richard's "Wired for Sound" over and over. Good old Slobbo. Ah, but the supermarkets in Belgrade in 1998, they were not such desolate places.
