Until I read this article I did not know that "No potatoes! No Popery!" was a Conservative campaign slogan in Lewes in 1765.

just in case of linkrot i think it is important to preserve “tofu-eating wokerati” here in a kind of semi-perpetuity

The people least likely to say "you go first" in Lidl when they've got a month's shopping & you've got six apples & a paper are the ones with spending £100+ on kale, blueberries and beansprouts etc— John Harris (@johnharris1969) November 15, 2022

― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Tuesday, 15 November 2022 23:40 (one year ago) link
you can get a huge bag of kale for less than a quid and I've heard it derided by a sophisticated foodie as "basically cattle-feed". Anyway I like it in soups and macaroni cheese so stick your apples up your arrisehole and what kind of a dick goes into Lidl to buy a newspaper.

Shocking that someone trying to feed a family on a budget won’t make way for a posh journo cunt giving it the “ee I only eat apples and paper me”

Very, very strange tweet from JH. Deserves to stand in infamy.
Personally I would never spend £100 in a supermarket (might do with an online order) but people who do are presumably feeding a family for a week - as poster Wins says.
So JH is opposed to people feeding a family, if they eat fruit and vegetables.
Though JH has probably also written columns saying things like "part of the problem is diet - how can we get more working-class communities eating healthily and increasing their life chances?".
So he should not be opposed to any family eating fruit and vegetables.
It's an unusually bad take even from him.
Also: surely the truth about who "goes first" in a queue is - whoever is first in the queue. Most of the time this is simple, not a matter of debate.
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 09:53 (one year ago) link
queueing a bit longer is priced in at Lidl, there are less checkouts than other supermarkets. Everyone knows this.
― calzino, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 09:57 (one year ago) link
Well, it is nice and polite when someone with hundreds of items in their trolly offers to let me, with only my TV Choice and low fat Olive spread in my basket, go ahead of them in the queue, and this has happened to me quite often in my local Lidl. But it's not a source of tweet-grievance when it doesn't happen.

The Govan Lidl, my local, doesn't have self-checkout (yet). Perhaps Lidls on the England-Wales border are also without (yet).
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 10:42 (one year ago) link
I've never seen a self-checkout in a Lidl albeit ime of 3 branches in w yorkshire

my nearest has self-checkout, it's still a queue

The only time I use a cashier at Lidl is when I have a 12kg bag of working dog kibble in my cart and there’s no way I’d want or be able to hoik it onto the packing area sensor.

they're sort of foreign and delicate. I guess blackberries would be the more acceptable british proletarian choice, if any fruit is acceptable
kale is sort of frilly and lacey so clearly not appropriate for the working man who likes his cabbage straight

the idea of judging someone buying alcohol-free beer. like, give it a second’s thought, man.the whole thing is literal entitlement: he should get to jump the queue because he’s better than them.
