Apology
I feel I must apologise for the lack of lidling over the past few weeks. This has been unfortunate but necessary due to half the reviewers being away and myself moving flats.
Hopefully we will start up again on Monday after a weekend of lidling.
Hang in there, and thank you for your continued lidling support.

I've just stumbled across this site, and although I'm bemused as to how reviews can seemingly oscillate between what appears to be Edinburgh and Mid-Wales(!?), I thought those of you familiar with Edinburgh might appreciate the following..
One of the sponsors of this year's Edinburgh Mela (multicultural festival) was indeed our favourite discount supermarket, and they were even handing out free goodie bags (probably the only time you'll get a Lidl plastic bag without having to pay for it). So far, so good.
However, you have to question Lidl's cultural awareness when you realise that one of the items in the goodie bag was a big bag of jelly sweeties.. Given that many visitors to and participants in the Mela are from South Asia, I don't think that sweeties containing beef or pork gelatine would have exactly gone down well with Hindus or Muslims present (nor veggies like me). oops!
Given that Lidl now (surprisingly) stock soy milk (the chocolate flavour is very nice!), I wonder if they'll ever get around to stocking veggie (etc) friendly jelly sweets..
are you veggie david? i used to be, but lost the will with having to feed aidan (who seems to be averse to vegatables).
they do stock veggie sweets full of spinach and the like though - although we haven't seen our vitamin friends in a while!
soy milk, however, ew!
Guys, it has come to my attention that transport direct provides a service that could be very useful for our cause. Watch this space closely... closer.... thats it, now hold it there.

Yes, Lesley, I'm veggie, which means most of Lidl's sweets other than the chocolates are off-limits..
Spinach sweets? You're winding me up, surely! Which ones are they? They don't sound very tempting, to be honest!
And give the chocolate soy milk a go, I think it's really nice! I reckon it's hard to tell the difference between it and 'normal' chocolate milk..
the vitamin friends contain spinach.
well they probably still aren't veggie, sincethey are still jelly sweets. they do contain spinach, nettles and carrot though (mostly for colouring i'd suspect).
i'm not sure about the soy milk though, even flavoured i can't imagine i'd be any good. i (well jo did, but i tasted it) had a smoothie at fringe sunday event in the edinburgh festival and they put soy milk in it instead of normal milk. it would have been much nicer with real milk.
lidling refuses to be constrained by normal time-space routines and thus resides in a free floating space between edinburgh, glasgow and mid wales (maybe somewhere over wigan).
lidling now takes in newcastle too, so perhaps a bit more central than wigan...
ok lets say it resides somewhere in the back streets of Leeds or maybe Stoke.
