    I hear they sell cans without can openers and booze with no corkscrews too.

    They do sell cushions and not the chairs.

    What good is a chair without a cushion?

    Whatever about buying an inflatable kayak from Lidl when buying a lifejacket you might want to invest some money in it instead of going for the cheapest option possible?

    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!

    Yep, happens me all the time. Go to Lidl for milk and bread, BAM!!! Come out with a 24 piece socket wrench kit and a laser guided skill saw but no milk or bread.

    I'll have to avoid Lidl Thursday so, cause if I head down for the 24 pack of nappies, I'll come out with the Kayak then there's the kid floating out to sea a couple of hours later.

    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?


    what is wrong with people today.

    this is a typical "spoon feed me everything because I just don't want to exercise any common sense, or have to think about anything" post.

    Don't buy a Kayak - you won't know what to do with it.

    Unbunch your panties ffs. Why is the mere suggestion that selling life-jackets alongside water sports equipment would be a good idea enough to annoy people?

    People re so fcuking quick in this place to react angrily to the most trivial and mundane of things.

    It's not a proper kayak, it's a bath toy.

    Max load is 160k so two relatively light people.

    80 kg is roughly 175 lbs. about 12.5 - 13 Stone. heavy enough for the average person.

    80kg would put a boxer in the "light heavyweight" category, so not nearly as small as you would think.

    Small for a fat bloke maybe, pretty heavy to put on in muscle.

    does anyone know a good place to buy life jackets?

    I've got a dinghy but nowhere in Ennis that I know of sells them so I haven't been able to use it.

    It would be really handy if Lidl did sell life jackets. It would almost certainly save lives

    (unless it had the opposite effect of making people take more risks while thinking they were protected)

    A few for sale on Donedeal: http://www.donedeal.ie/watersports-for-sale/buoyancy-aids-lifejackets-25-each/4992449

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

    Too right.
    That thing will be at the bottom of the liffey faster than a shopping trolley.
    Looks like fun for five minutes though.

    Let's get back to the kayak, it's far more interesting than gym freaks comparing willies body fat.

    I like the inflatable kayak idea and I'm going to buy one for Enda Kenny, tow him out to the North Atlantic Trench and fire darts at it.

    Slim is a shape not a percentage.

    They are banned on flights 'cos of hijacking and stuff.

    No they're not

    I've brought mine on as hand luggage several times.

    I was forced to check it in once in East midlands airport by an over zealous security guy who decided to make up the rule that they were banned off the top of his head. He told me the lines could be cut up and used to tie people up. I asked if I would be stopped if I had 100 pairs of shoe laces in my carry on to which he answered no. I asked why. He said because shoe laces aren't banned :confused:

    I know other people who've been made check them in too but if you are dealing with a security person who knows their job they'll let you through.
