Social media storm in dunboyne

Lidl in Dunboyne was at the centre of a social media storm this week when the cheeky Waterford Whispers site 'reported' a melee at the store.

According to the satirical website, there was a 'near-tragic incident' at the outlet when a newly-opened checkout sparked a mass stampede.

'Sheila Mannion', who spoke to the website, said: 'We had been standing there for ages when we saw a girl approach with her tillbox in her hand. Everyone waited until we were certain what desk she was going to sit at, and then all hell broke loose.'

She added: 'I was caught under the wheels of a trolley and fell to the ground. I managed to wriggle out, but my loaf of bread was crushed altogether'.

The tongue-in-cheek article was later reported by Focus, a respected German website.
