Lidl 2 person kayak

dsane1

Anyone else notice that lidl are selling kayaks but no life jackets. Surely with the amount of deaths in our waters lately, it should be a requirement to at least have life jackets for sale if you are selling kayaks and the like?

Celly Smunt

Or you could just buy the life jackets separately?

Or maybe we could just ban large bodies of water?

Are crash helmets sold with cars/bikes?

Barrel

So should Penny's who sell bikinis have to sell life jackets too?

Richard tea

Do you want them to sell common sense with that also

Ironically Lidl sell motorbike helmets without the bikes.

You can use rope to tie it to yourself making it a personal floatation device.

Most bike shops would sell helmets, and as far as I know cars come with seatbelts and airbags

Christ! well i didnt really know what to expect, should have known better lol

people are dying because they are ****ing idiots. Do you actually think everyone who died had died because they were kayaking without a Ba?? In fact it's safer to be in a kayak in water than not

Indian restaurants sell red hot vindaloos but neglect to sell you toilet rolls and sudocrem for the 'morning after Japanese flag flaming ringpiece'.

why not it's true. A mate of mine is in the coastguard. Pulled out a 17year olds body yesterday, said people were swimming in around the same spot an hour later

Lenin Skynard

Ugh I'm going to end up impulse buying one of these and throwing it in the press with the popcorn maker, coffee machine and paddling pool. Damn you LIDL!

Ace Attorney

well, i think my username sums it up perfectly

Duckworth_Luas

I recently stabbed myself in the face with a sharp knife I bought in Aldi. Stupid thing didn't come with a "Warning Includes Sharp Knife" label!

It kinda looks like it should have life jackets included in fairness.

Maybe they should also sell some common sense about not going into water if you cannot swim.

up for anything

We all drive on roads every day that other people have crashed and been killed on. It doesn't stop us.

Micky Dolenz

We should all buy one, tie them together, float out to sea and declare ourselves a micro nation.

You know what's weird? Lidl are selling a cushion for a sun lounger but no sun lounger.

You have to have the ambiguity. It is the uncertainty that causes the anaphylactic shock.

It would be great if instead of the invention of life jackets they invented a huge sponge instead

They're selling lights for bicycles as well but not bikes,how much weider can it get?

dmc17

What happens if you go out in the kayak and you get hungry? They should probably throw in a picnic hamper with it too, oh and a small fridge to keep the food cool and maybe a few bottles of water to prevent dehydration and some sunscreen in case you get skin cancer. Then I may consider purchasing this noble craft.

Brilliant idea! And when the dreaded rain starts again, we get going on roofing the country and we can splonge around to our hearts content without seeing grey skies.

*Splonge may or may not be a word

My name is URL

It's a two-man kayak, selling for €49.99... I doubt safety is a major concern for them. A proper (low-end) tandem kayak costs around €600.

People are real fcuking stupid in this country when it comes to water safety.. no doubt parents will be buying these and taking their kids out into open waters thinking they'll be grand, so it wouldn't hurt to actually sell life-jackets alongside the kayaks.

Why do the dead deserve respect. I don't know anything about them so why should I respect them

Sure you'd be banjaxed after blowing that yoke up! You'd have no energy to paddle anywhere.

I like the word "splonge".
