I was a Lidl virgin until a couple of weeks ago. Not through snobbery, just didn't have one near us. It's been a godsend as I've been able to do a relatively normal, cheapish shop compared to what I'd get in our Tesco Express, Sainsburys Local etc...

But dear god those middle aisles. I wandered up and down for a good few minutes confused and trying to spot a theme in adjacent items. Didn't need to social distance, every other shopper seemed to know it was a No Man's Land and left me to it

I want to report on this,
How very dare you speak like this about the isle of tit!!!

Next time you need a pair of thermal socks, a glow in the dark spirit level and and a pot plant I hope they refuse to serve you 😐

Omg, it’s almost midnight, have I missed today’s Irish Crap post?! :eek:

I do apologise.... 😐 I keep forgetting i have a title to live up to 🤦‍♀️
The pressure ☹
 
Why would it be ridiculous that people seem to think they had it end of December / beginning of January when the first public case was only two weeks after this ?? Whose to say it wasn’t here before then and people just put it down as bad case of flu ??
Maybe ridiculous isn't the right word, but everyone is jumping on the 'I had corona bandwagon'

If everyone I've seen say they had it really had it, then the pandemic would've started a lot earlier than it did, considering how fast it spreads. Just seems everyone I know who had the flu is convinced they had it when they hardly had any of the symptoms.
 
Oo do you think we’ll get 2 today to make up for not having one yesterday?
I knew I’d been out of sorts all day and now I know why.
We need our daily coronavirus Irish crap post.
What will it be? Leprechauns? Shamrocks? Guinness? Any other Irish stereotypes I can think of...? 😄
My minds racing 😂 I suggested last night's Boyzone ! so all ideas wellcome☘:poop: ?

Exactly! but that's not enough for some people. It's like some weird competion to be government teacher's pet.
I understand that it comes from a place of fear but it frustrates me that people are turning against each other.
If they cross the 2mtrs cough:cool:

😂😂😂 I am truly sorry, tbf I did find myself drawn to the gardening accessories - which seemed to be in 3 different places - I stood there for a while until I reminded myself I have no outdoor space.
It all brought back memories of the shite my parents used to bring me back if they'd had an afternoon at the shops. I was always treated to something from Woolies 😥 or Wilkos. The highlight being a towel dress, a slinky lil number with straps and a velcro strip all the way down. Could never understand their thought process behind these gifts. They're in their element in Lidl.

everyone knows the gardening tools are beside the Weetabix across from the knock off Disney jigsaws and the exercise bands. 🙄
Clearly a newbie.

the department of health/government don’t update us at the weekend therefore the Irish representatives on this thread take a day off 😂
But you can have bono. Seriously, take the twit.

This vision of Bono will definitely bring on several nightmares tonight.

I had a bad flu in December but I'm pretty sure it was just that...the flu. My 7 year old never caught it from me and he'd had the vaccine.
Although my mum's friend very suddenly passed away mid-February and I have wondered if there was a chance it was coronavirus. She had fluid in her lungs 😔

Definitely is a possibility. Sorry to hear about that :( x

There was such an awful flu going around last autumn/winter! I was in bed for a week but nobody else I was in contact with caught it either, even at work where we usually all end up ill at the same time lol
 
I've had to stop looking at my local Facebook group. It started off quite amusing but gah the curtain twitching outrage is overwhelming. It's like the first week of Neighbourhood Watch on steroids.

I understand that there are people defiying the government instructions but there also so many people innocently following the guidelines - quietly having their daily exercise or doing their best to whilst support vulnerable family members/friends and getting absolutely lynched for it. It's giving me the rage.

I know exactly what you mean fb double edged sword for sure.
The notion of be kind always you never know what someone's going through is long gone it's relentless judgement/ guilt.
I had go chemist yesterday pick up prescription it seemed busy with so many people exercising.

I wondered if the government have strategy of specific % of people to stay at Home to have affect and that the idiots breaking the rules are maybe a minority but seen worse and like there's more if them because on social media and news peppers keep focussing on say the 10% breaking the rules


Feeling negative and down past few days.
Been trying to stay postive
The news is very bleak and I am deeply anxious about getting the virus or any of my family.
As I work in food retail I am classed as keyworker and I am taking all the precaution I can in work.

In other news America stole pp masks from Asia destined for Germany and the German government have accused USA of piracy and protectionism.
This is on top of don't send Canada ventilators and trying make sure America's 1st in queue for vaccine.
I mean OMG poor American citizens he's handled this crisis so badly.

Looks like Debenhams and cath kidston going into administration.
Sad as did my wedding list at Debenhams and had fab service from reading Debenhams at Xmas when shopping although my nearest is very tired looking these days.
I have freind who works for landlords to negociate rents.
Many businesses asking rent breaks and reduced rents plus they have a break on rates.
Makes me wonder after all this is over how many shops will reopen I foresee UK losing a few well known names.
A close freinds been asked to take 5% paycut so they can keep the company going.
The financial effects if the virus is worrying.
Halifax granted us a mortage break so we saving that money as who knows if governing guarantee longer than 80% or how long restrictions/ lockdown will go on.
