Last year Lidl were smashing it with veggie roast dinner centre pieces. Doesn’t look like last year’s options are coming back so we’re auditioning new Sunday lunch and Christmas options.

A fresh circle of hell for the people who put the footpath closure notice at the point where the path is closed, rather than several miles earlier, where the path leaves a town (that had a pub and a train home).
Bonus Hell points for the whole “Closed from June 2024 or until when it isn’t” bit.
