Lidl Chandlery??

Nautical special offers here.

How many boat hooks are they going to sell in Milton Keynes???

Could be a boon to the Birmingham navy, en route to their craft?

I don't know about Milton Keynes (does anyone?) but, with all the canals in the Midlands, they may sell quite a few in Brum.

The same stuff was offered in our local Lidl a few months back and the lot was cleared out well before mid-morning. Never realised so many people had boats, or maybe some local boating shops became interested.

I know about Milton Keynes (fabulous new city with facilities to die for - and roads on which to realise your wish) and can tell you its full of boating types. Grand Union through the middle and a great big lake and lots of little ones for dinghy types. A34 to the Solent area (2hrs), M1/M25/M27 to Brighton (2Hrs but not Friday afternoon) but east and south-east coast not quite as well served with fast roads. We have an healthy appetite for all things nautical around here - and a big Lidl store. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Milton Keynes isn't officially a city, officially it's a town.

However, in reality it's a bunch of newish housing estates surrounding a 1980s style shopping mall like a big glass brick with nought but the normal chain stores in it. The 'entertainment district' is a mass of mainstream night clubs and is known locally as 'punch up central' or 'chav central'

It's well served with a road system to get you around or away, though. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
