The UK construction industry is a joke, and other countries laugh
at us.

Documented evidence?


The Germans have built a Lidl down the road from me in less than two
weeks**.

You have my deepest sympathy.

More Little Miiddle England petty snobery. Aldi, Netto and Lidl are all of
the same type and format, and all from three differnt countries. They pile
em hign and sell em cheap. Their goods are decent quality, with many known
brands, and just plain cheaper than the main suopermarkets.

The Continentals do the bulk of their shopping at these types of places and
go to the big names where the Lidles don't fill the gap. These three cheap
supermarkets have not realy taken off in the UK, getting better though, and
the reason was of pure petty snobbery. Why go to Tesco when these places
sell the same far cheaper? But most people here do not and petty snobbery
was the reason when research was done.
