Lidl buy little
Finally made it to Lidl. Next time, I know to get there at 9am on the
day of the sale. There wasn't a whole lot left, and what there was looked like a bomb-site; stuff everywhere, out of the packets. I bought 1) The handlebar cooler-bag. It's pretty crappy, but it was only £3 and it will come in handy for carrying a bottle of drink, some chocolate, and my phobile moan. 2) A jersey. I had wanted an ordinary one, in tasteful red, grey, and black, but they were sold out. So I got a vile-orange "mountain bike" jersey. Not sure what makes it an MTB jersey, but it seems pretty nice. Haven't worn it in anger, but it can't be any worse than cotton at keeping me dry. 3) A coolmax t-shirt. XL, rather than XXL like the jersey, and a bit too tight. I think I'll wait until I've lost some weight. 4) The jacket. Seems ok. Also XL, also a little small, but wearable. Can't imagine it will keep any rain out, but as long as it keeps the wind out, I'll be happy. They were out of shorts and tights, though. I've also been playing with Memory Map. Amongst other things, I found out why my journey down to Nantgarw Road always seems harder than the journey back, despite being downhill. It's actually uphill. I know it's stupid, on reflection, but because it goes down the valley, I assumed it was downhill. Of course, it's not on the valley floor, it's halfway up the side, and isn't remotely constrained by the direction of the valley. Duh. -- Keith Willoughby http://flat222.org/keith/ Oes gafr eto? |

I am over weight at 11st 10! I also thought the coolmax socks for £1.49 were the bargain of the week! Simon |

I didn't get a jacket, but got some pairs of socks in the right sizes, and three cycle computers .. 19 function, Wireless, Solar powered for £4.99 - unbelievable .. for me and my kids bikes. They have about 10 left but only in Silver, I think I got the last Black ones .. The last jacket went out while I was walking in .. with a chap carrying armsfull of cycling stuff, such as the briefcase panniers and bag tooolkits, I think he had about 10 of each, which is either being a tad greedy, or he's selling 'em off elsewhere .. -- Paul (8(|) Homer rocks .. |

There wasn't a whole lot left, and what there was looked like a bomb-site; stuff everywhere, out of the packets. Mmm, a crappy handlebar bag, It serves its purpose admirably well. It's just not all that impressive, but for £3, I'm happy. a vile colour jersey, 'vile-orange'. I quite like the colour, but I have little taste in these regards. a t shirt that's too tight and a slightly too small jacket Something to aim for! When I lose a stone, they'll fit lovely. that's not waterproof. Ah, it might be. I've not tried. So your pleased with your purchase then? I am, actually. They were something like £23, and I was expecting to have to pay that for just a jersey. The jacket and t-shirt will be great once I've lost some weight. :-) :-) -- Keith Willoughby http://flat222.org/keith/ "Everything is repairable" |

I wasn't sure which size of Tchibo's £4.99 gloves to buy so I got both and used eBay to sell the ones that didn't. I got £11.00 for them (plus £2.95 for p&p). Much better than getting £4.99 back form Tchibo if I'd sent them back. PhilO |
