The condoms in the online shopping order story is now on the backpage of Computer Weekly!

Apparently the error was blamed 'on a new member of staff in the marketing department'.

[OrmIrian]

Oooh cann't do that. It's a paper copy on my desk!

I saw this on the register

www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/22/tesco_condom_cockup/

''Bed balloons''. I love that site.

[bristols]

Oh, I see. I don't know the story at all. Can you fill me in?

[bristols]

Thanks, Devil. Feel fully informed now. LOL

[Koshka]

Was this a mumsnetter?

[OrmIrian]

Yes. I have a feeling that it was.

It wasn't condoms though, it was champagne and strawbs and it was a wind up. Not mentioning any names and it wasn't me!

[zippitippitoes]

dont know this story but i once got my order plus 200 cigarettes

i assumed there was some sort of scam whereby they packed items and then took then out before delivcery

i wasnt charged for them

[OrmIrian]

Ah I thought there condoms too

And I know it was a wind up.

There was a newspaper item about a woman and Tesco's condoms in her basket. Someone posted a thread about it a while back, the woman in the photo looked suspiously like Sue out of Brookie (well she did to me).

I got delivered some condoms once by mistake with my online shop!

That was As-duh tho not Tesco.

When I phoned up to report it (cos I'd hate someone else to get my shopping that I'd paid for, IYSWIM) they said "Oh you should just have kept it!"
