"Today your order will be delivered by Jesus in the Cabbage van"

You don't get the son of god delivering groceries for just any supermarket.

I wouldn't call him well hot unfortunately.

But yes, clearly of Spanish/South American descent rather than heaven sent :o

There is a Robbie Williams song: Jesus in a Camper Van.

Which is now stuck in my head with slightly altered lyrics.

When I was slagging off the Ocado website on here, I got told by other MNers "You will get a handsome man bring your shopping in! Order without delay!"

Imagine my delight when a bloke resembling a potato with currants for eyes knocked on my door...

He may not have been "well hot" but, let's face it, he was the son of god which is pretty impressive.

The ocado vans all have close up photographs of fruit or veg on the side.

I think there's lemon, courgette, strawberry and cabbage and possibly a couple more. I have no idea why they think I need to know which van it will be in but it has to be said today's effort made it worthwhile.

Thankfully the text arrived after Jesus had been otherwise I may not have been able to contain myself.

SO YOU DIDNT KNOW IT WAS JESUS IN HIS CABBAGE VAN WHEN YOUR ORDER ARRIVED THEN ?

Report
SoupDragon · 03/04/2012 15:23

No, the text from Ocado arrived just as he'd left - I think it's because I have an early reserved delivery slot.

I was a little suspicious at the sandals and halo and the exact that the van appears to float just above the surface of the road though. Also, the water I ordered appears to have been turned into wine which is a bonus. I have high hopes for the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish as well.

Jesus in the Cabbage van? Sounds a bit like a low-level expletive - like my brother's old favourite 'Christ on a bike'.

I had mine delivered by Colin in Tomato van on Saturday. Apparently it's rare if you ever get the same driver twice, to prevent 'familiarity' with customers. None of mine have ever been worth getting familiar with in the bedroom. Or maybe I have just had a bad run Smile

When Jesus came to my house, some items were damaged. I had a friend staying who dared me to ring up and tell them 'Jesus broke my eggs'. I think I laughed solidly for an hour......
