Don't know if you have got Iberian week in the UK, but we have just had a lovely time in Lidl. We bought lots of wine, including commissions for our French neighbours who are on holiday, olive oil, cheeses, dates wrapped in bacon, chickpeas, salted almonds, tea towels and a whole jamon de serrano. There was an elderly French lady buying all sorts of things because she had never been abroad and never tried foreign food until Lidl came to town. I do enjoy their speciality weeks. I may need to invite the whole village for a slice of ham though....
Lack of public toilets in towns.
