PJay Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Had a questionnaire from Liddl , asking if we thought a Lidil store would affect our local shops. There was nowhere on the form , asking if we wanted them of not! I find all these poll questionnaires are biased Personally I can't stand the layout of their shops. Much to muddled for me, can never find what I want PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, who knows - those percentages may well reflect the breakdown of the UK population. ( Not on this forum though of course ). The problem with getting the balance right is that no-one knows who the people who don't vote would support. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
