I delegate all shopping responsibilities to SWMBO :)
Best way... ;D
I had to look it up on the internet.  Apparently girlies have to go to this warehouse type buildings...  ...and stuff doesn't grow in fridges...

I go for the pleasant scenery,  ;D

Problem is, Lidl are a bit tight with the refrigeration in the chiller aisle. Waitrose are a much better bet. :y

Well it looks like Im screwed, went to see the Manager who said He couldn't (wouldn't) do anything, its up to me to keep my receipts and prove I was shopping at the time.  >:(

The Car Park is controlled by Athena, who according to the Manager are not known to budge on Parking Offences, The Manager also pointed out that they do not own the Land (Fairly sure they do, as it was a Vauxhall Dealer for donkeys years before closing down?).  :-\

As you drive in theres a Temperary Tarpaulin Banner on the Wall in White and Beige, Headed Up "Free Parking for Customers", you really do need to get out of the Car and walk towards it before you can see in small print about registering your Car Reg at the Till on Checkout.  >:(

Goingb to write to Lidl HO, but dont hold out much hope without proof of Shopping there.  :-\ ::) >:(

If you can't read the sign easily and it's possible to park and shop without seeing it, then tell them (Athena) you are willing to go to court. Take pictures to back up your argument. Temporary tarpaulin banner sounds amateurish to me.

Agreed, I think there will be some regulations covering signage, I think it would be worth exploring this and taking a photo of the temporary tarp type sign for evidence if you do plan on going to court.
