Did that today,. can't be arsed with the holes for the plastic whatsits though. It'll do as a hammering bench!

Lidl tried to establish themselves in Norway, but disappeared after a year or so.
We just didn't buy it i guess..

Looking at this article i would say you norway lot are weird as you all prefer to pay very high prices for loyalty rather than realise what the rest of europe and now usa have, lidl sells some really good stuff and being the worlds 5th largest retailer can provide very cheap prices...
But it does appear that the retailers in norway feared lidl so conspired against them ?...
Being a professional tradesman i personally think they sell a lot of budget tools and things that are actually quite good, and the odd one or two items have been superior to the top brand names !

Trouble is sorting the wheat from the chaff.

Just so you know, you don't need a receipt. You just need 'proof of purchase'. This can be a cheque stub, a bank statement, or a credit card statement. Even if the shop tells you "need a receipt", you DO NOT. You only have to prove you bought it there. If you knew the date and time, you could even ask them to check their CCTV (but they wouldn't). Big stores will even have their own barcode on the label, proving the product was bought from them - so don't try and pass off an item bought in a different shop! Even if you don't have ANY proof of purchase, don't give up just yet. Write to the head office (recorded delivery) and report the matter to Citizens Advice, who will automatically notify your local Trading Standards. Ask the store's HO for 'Alternative Dispute Resolution'. And always remember that if a product is faulty, you demand your money back, not a credit note. They MUST give you your money back.
