Thanks Colette sounds like we will have to try it out soon. I did notice when i went past that they were advertising live entertainment, not sure if that was a one off or a reguler weekend thing.
Have a good holiday and hope the flight gets there in time for the ferry 8-)

What a shame I'll miss it, Allan. I suppose being on Symi might make up for it though.......

by **Allan** » 30 Sep 2011, 10:50

Have a good time on Symi Andy 8-)

Have a wonderful time on beautiful Symi Andy.

Re the retsina....if you anyone misses out on Lidl's retsina offer you can also get 0.75l bottles at Waitrose for a very reasonable price of �5.49p....nice stuff too

I'll have a trip to Lidl's, Its Benji's (my doggie) birthday, maybe he likes Retsina too !

by **Allan** » 01 Oct 2011, 18:37

That sounds a good reason to buy retsina

by **maziemoo** » 01 Oct 2011, 21:18

Cheers....err I mean Happy Birthday Benji, don't let that mistress of your's lead you into bad habits

Hey! I just saw Mythos in Tesco, first time I've seen it. Big bottles though. I stopped drinking beer otherwise I would have got some. They also had Effes the Turkish lager.

Will there be a queue then a stampede when Lidl's open their store tomorrow i wonder? I hope to be first in at the nearest Lidl to me - roll on tomorrow - yeeha

Lidle only have limited stock for these special offers and the last time they were selling the retsina I bought half of the entire stock in one visit!

ops:

There shouldn't be a need to get there early tomorrow Snoops, particularly since the promotion doesn't start until Thursday!!

If you are seen hanging around in Lidl carpark for 24 hours people are sure to talk.

If you go on line to Yammas wines you can buy Metaxa and all kinds of lovely licqours(sorry about spelling) - an especially nice one is Tentura - lovely for Christmas. Plenty metaxa and not much more expensive than in Greece.
