    "Burns would be turning in his grave."

    Two incorrect notions there - firstly he is in a Mausoleum and secondly it is highly doubtful he ever wore a kilt!

    It's difficult to judge the issue without actually seeing what Lidl are offering - many of us have seen Gold Bros offerings on the other hand.

    Also Lidl are unlikely to prove a long term competitor to quality kilt establishments, it's just one of their offers that are here today and gone tomorrow.

    Sort of like how Osco, one of our supermarket/drug store companies stocks Chicago Bears paraphenalia (sweatshirts, hats, pennants, etc.) during football (the American type) season. They figure that as long as they've got you coming in to buy huge bags of potato chips (crisps) and cases of cans of that yellowish swill that passes for beer, they might as well clip you for another couple of bucks before you get out the door.
