The Lidl branch I most use is at Clapham Junction. They have number

Which then gives you up to 90 minutes free parking.

Had a demand for a fine from the company that runs it for them. On
that occasion, the till person obviously forgot to ask me for my
details. Not that I noticed at the time. And they could have changed
the system anyway.

Emailed the car park company and said I'd paid by plastic so they
could check with the store easily that I'd used the store on the date
and time in question.

Some time later, I've had an email asking me to prove I made a
purchase. They want a copy of the till receipt.

As it happens I do still have it - as I bought something with a
warranty. But had it been just groceries, would have been junked the
same day.

So I've told them to check themselves. Be interesting to see what
happens next.


Sounds like another good reason not to use Lidl. The first reason is
that there isn't one near us.

Another reason: I put my postcode into their website, and it returned
the wrong location for my home.
