Can you get it gift wrapped?

Not in LIDL but most shopping centres offer this service around Christmas time.

Could you imagine the look on their faces when you walk in with 20m of rope and ask for it to be gift wrapped.

"eh, its for the wife"

Take a walk around any harbour in the country and you'll see the rope that lidl did about 3 years ago is used to secure a lot of boats, including some very expensive boats. It really was great quality stuff last time and it floats which is a benefit for marine usage.
.

People who use floating rope should be strung up with it. I've seen too many propellers found by the bloody things. Ropes should sink, like God Neptune intended.

Does anyone know if this rope will work with my existing Saorview and FTA setup or will I have to get something else?

The trick to using it as an antenna is to keep it wet

There is a problem here. Only 13.1 metres required. What to do with the remaining 6.9metres.:rolleyes:

Dear Kids,
Santa knows you were really good all year and he'd love to bring a shiny new PS3 Slim but unfortunately your Mom & Dad are broke, slowly turning to drink and nearly suicidal from listening to Joe Duffy... But Happy Christmas!! ...your presents are under the tree.
Santa said have fun loosing a few calories, be careful of friction-burns and don't use them on the cat.

PS If you get bored with your presents, leave them back under the tree at night. Your Mommy told Santa she always wanted to try Isome games with him.
TBH kids, Santa probably looked a bit worried -- although he's encouraged that Life doesn't totally suck ass!! But Santa said you kids gotta go to bed early again and not worry about any funny noises ;-)

A piece of Lidl's rope walks into a pub and asks for a pint. The barman says: "sorry, we don't serve rope". The rope leaves dejected and then cuts it's ends and ties itself into a knot and returns to the pub and asks for a pint. The barman says: "aren't you that piece of rope I just kicked out?" And the rope replies, "No, I'm a frayed knot"!!!

A tip for anyone else looking for it gift wrapped: Buy 2 ropes, and use the spare one to wrap it.

Impress your friends with your new rope.

While I don't know about their polypropylene rope a family friend in cork used some of their 8mm 200kg cord on his boat and it self destructed in less than 6 months no UV resistance whatsoever.

Yeah but it lasts forever if you just use it in the dark.

I'm at the top of the queue at my local Lidl for this bargain of the century, bizarrely, about 20 people have now joined since this news was released on Boards.ie.
