THERE EXISTS A troubling issue that threatens to undo Irish society as a whole – no, not the current state of the government, but the pronunciation of Lidl.
If you’d come straight out the gate crying ‘LEE-DEL’, then maybe it would have caught on. But you left us to our own devices for years. We had to make the decision for ourselves!
No Irish person will ever sound natural saying ‘Lee-del’
There’s something vaguely posh about it. No thanks.
And to be honest, you’ll just annoy every person around you
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
“Oh, you’re a Lee-del person, are you? Hmm.”
But it is never, ever ‘Liddles’
People who say Lidls instead of Lidl can just get out

For years we’ve been told again and again that we’re wrong, but now it’s time make a choice. And we’re choosing ‘Liddle’.

How it’s pronounced in the ads means nothing to us, TBQH.
It took you too long to correct us, and frankly the damage is done
