Left Twix, Right Twix type of scenario. If ever there was a place to have an egg fight this is it. Lidl throwers one side of the road, Aldi throwers the other. Whoevers brand of eggs fly truest and hit their targets, they’ll be my choice for brekky.
This is perfect. You can do your grocery shopping in Lidl and then head over the road for gin.

is their gin daycent?
Grouse
The Old Hopking gin from Aldi is amazingly decent for the price. It’s nicer than a lot of the usual €20 options.
Harry Molloy
better than cork dry, but no where near Hendricks?
D2dweller
Both Hendricks and Cork are terrible gins. Take it from somebody who knows more than you.

when the flub did gin become a “thing”. was in the pub a few days ago & there was a gin menu been shown around,
Harry Molloy
cos it’s class! Hendricks, cucumber and pepper, I’ve converted everyone, even my farmer friends :)
Donger
Bars are now competing to see who can put the largest amount of stuff in your glass of gin. I’ve seen cinnamon sticks, berries, peppercorns, coriander leaves, cucumbers
diddy
Largest amount of stuff that isn’t actually GIN no doubt

Oh would you stop, don’t you just know it. The thieving rascals

Gin is made from berries, so berries make sense.
Though you wouldn’t stick wheat or a potato in a vodka.
dav
yeah, I see gin & i immediately see schweppes

It’s only proper gin if they serve it in a jam jar.
dav
thus ended the lesson..

great to see more employment coming into the EW area… hopefully a few jobs for the locals.
Fairhill
A few jobs for the local Polish, Lithuainian, and a couple of token grumpy Irish who will hate working there with all the non nationals
Smashmouth
Very true
The unemployed Irish friends i have wont even consider working in Spar/Lidl/Aldi but are happy to pick up their dole each month

Excellent. Will be raiding the Lidl for the bakery. Can’t pick whose yogurt is better though
martco
good call the Lidl bakery makes an effort for a supermarket, I miss Superquinn :(
Aldi has quite the chequered past in employee and supplier relations
they also subject of one of the longstanding urban myths out there…re the brothers etc.
Rompsky
Aldi does very good yoghurt in their posh range
Tom
They’ve started experimenting with the flavours.
Makes a nice change. Hard to beat the rhubarb layer though
Liam
great – into Lidl for the hammer drill and circular saw, then over to Aldi for a power washer and a kayak.
Milk? damn, forgot that.
Spaghetti Hoop
Go in for lettuce, come out with a leaf-blower.
My Torrid Fire
Mixed salad anyone
Buzzoneill
And also a Starbucks and McDonald’s opening next door too..
Fierce handy that. Makes shopping around easier.

You’re gonna eat the staff?
Yup. There’s a Viz mash-up/p*ss-take of the old Dandy cartoon The Jocks and the Geordies in that idea
Oh the memory rush!
I wonder did those lads ever make up
Similar set up on the Rathmines Road.
Tis but that lidl is far better than that aldi.
