I learned something last week. Most people in the UK call this establishment "lidal". It is in fact pronounced "lee-dl".

Known that for ages.

Likewise Aldi is mispronounced I think you will find

Maybe that's the correct way to say it in the foreign place where it started, but in Britain it rhymes with widdle.
The Tottenham branch is, of course, "Yidl".

We don't say we're going on a romantic short break to "Paree", do we?

There's a limerick lurking in there, methinks!

A man took his wife to Paris,
on arriving he went for a wee,
And again at a Lidl
he went for a widdle
in the car park for all to see

There once was a man on a forum
whose mission in life was bore 'em
with furrin words
from expatriate Kurds
but then he did live in Shoreham.

They have some shackles and stuff coming up. Not sure if they are S/S. Will need to drop in and take a look. The shackles look like the have a 'distinctive' key so it may be possible to keep them separate from the swindlery stuff.

No, although I think this will eventually change. They make a point of getting the names of places correct on the News, so why not Paris?

My kids always rib me when I say "restauran". Can't help it, brought up by French grandmother.

I don't have any choice either; SWMBO is German. Aldi and Lidl are almost shrines.
