AT long last, great news. Now we won't need to go all the way to the other side of Worcester. Lidl is a great little supermarket with super quality food, household goods, toiletries etc, mostly German and Dutch, and the best orange juice ever. Those people protesting against this development obviously have never tried Lidl's products.

Maybe this would be a good time for those shopkeepers in the immediate vicinity to give themselves a facelift in anticipation of Lidl's, as I can think of no other reason at the moment to be within 200 yards of them, other than passing in a car, except possibly to get petrol.

Lidl will be good for the area, maybe locals and shopkeepers should look on the bright side. I'd really like it if Lidl moved in next door to me!
