My favorite thing when travelling across Europe is visiting local Lidl and comparing it to my own home Lidl. There is always something slightly different, but the base is most often the same.

For example in Belgrade they didn't have kaiser rolls in Lidl. That's a first for me.


Finnish Lidl history remind me to check how are the tills setup. In Finland they have conveyor belts on both sides. So you can pack there and then after the cashier has scanned items. Some cultural differences that you don't often think about.


Our Lidl has those (north carolina). We've had our local Lidl about... 7 years? I can not actually remember if they had them on day one, or if it was introduced during covid years. But... it's quite handy. I seem to think our Aldi previously had them, but my last trip there last month they'd redone the whole place - more self checkouts, and I only saw single conveyor belt setups.


my experience with border control in Gibraltar (foreign car, 2023):

entering: Spanish side: passport scan, UK side: 5 second look

exiting: waving through


That can be a problem for the thousands of people that commute daily.


same experience last year, existing without having to stop was especially surprising


I have a Samsung Galaxy from 2022 that has exactly that and it's still supported by manufacturer. Unfortunately it's a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro.

Who says anything about e-mail? Government could legislate specific government electronic inboxes, with e-mail and SMS notifications of delivery, as has been happening in several, if not all EU countries.

I haven't got a snail mail from my government for years at this point, nor did I needed to send one that way.
