Time to take action I think, with the Supermarkets. http://www.facebook.com/lidlireland I just left them a message asking them to water their plants, If we can just make them aware of how unhappy we are about the situation and the bad publicity they are generating for themselves then perhaps they will do something about it.
The name Lidl is the surname of a former business partner of Josef Schwarz's, Ludwig Lidl, a retired schoolteacher, and Josef's son Dieter Schwarz bought the rights to the name from him for 1,000 German Marks, as he could not use the name Schwarz Markt; schwarzmarkt means "black market".
Aldi was founded by 2 brothers and was split in 1960 due to a dispute over selling cigarettes at the till. the name Aldi—short for Albrecht-Diskount was coined in 1962. They are actually aldi north and aldi south and tend to operate in different countries but do share brands. (yes too much time...)
Agree with you about these places though. I bought some herbs from a B&M store recently and they were going to suffer the same fate. Mine have come on well but I don't know about the stock they'll have left.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Clicked and ranted. Please others do the same, Blackest has even provided the link, so you have no excuse.
Blackest, would it be a good idea to put that link in a separate thread, if enough GW forum members complain, even those that don't normally post - Lurkers, you know who you are - then Aldi might actually do something about it.
Aldi have replied - you need to put the store where the dead and dying plants are, then they will 'pass your message on to the store'
TinaTurner, I don't blame you, OH isn't signed up to faceache either. I'm only signed up for the competitions. And to find out which of my friends have finally 'come out', there have been two so far, one I was close to in 6th form (and would never have guessed - I just thought he was concentrating on passing his A levels), the other I worked with, and we kept saying he'd make a lovely wife for someone, someday!
Commented on the post again, they have me down as Blackest, I'm not even on the same island as he is!! Have had another rant at them. I have even suggested a way they can check who is watering and who isn't - they know how many plants they've sent out, and they know how many have been sold - therefore they must know how many have been chucked away. Goodness, GG, you have got my Ranty side well off the leash today!
You would think they would READ the complaint posts, reply to the correct person.

http://www.facebook.com/lidluk is the UK page.
http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-A1A19762-4C4B9ECA/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/571.htm thats a link to customer services. Hopefully they will listen.
I got a quick response from the uk page but they think its an Irish problem so if anyone feels like chiming in over in the UK please do
Will do, though it was actually Aldi, supposed to belong to the brother of the owner of Lidl, after a quarrel. Probably nonsense!
http://www.facebook.com/AldiUK theres the Aldi page did the same with them
Aldi and lidl are not related.
