My computer tutor went and bought some PC equipment from them, it was so cheap he took it to bits and found it was better gear than that sold in PC world or Dixons for 1/3 of the price.

I think they just buy a bulk lot of anything then advertise it

LiDL is excellent value, nothing to be snobby about - BUT I too would draw the line at a cheap lid.

This is the third separate post about this in the last three days!

And yes I'll be checking it out just in case the gear is any good.

if it passes the BS tests, it aint too bad. Probably won't be comfortable enough for extended use. Certainly would be happier in that than one bought off ebay tho

At £59.99, the jacket looks like good value though. CE protectors at elbows and shoulders and room for a back protector.

Might go over to my local store for a look-see..........
