It's not one of my name things. It's just a great fact. The name of Lidl comes from a guy called Ludwig Lidl, who was a retired school teacher and painter, who I think was friends with a parent of the founder of Lidl, right? Dieter Schwarz was the founder of Lidl. In 1973, he was setting up this supermarket, but he didn't want to call it Schwarzmarkt, which he should have done.

Other times Lidl came up

  1. I'm going to say four times. Three. Dan, are we going to go through all the words? Just a superluckus. I've only got Tesco, Asda, Lidl, Costa, and Aldi to go through. I do need people to buy these books. There's murders as well. It's not all just shops. I'm just saying for the next book, if you need the fact checker, I kind of know all the shops you mentioned.
