"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.

How fabulous this is being moved to classics. That was your work wasn't it Jesus? At least we have somewhere we can come and update which van Jesus, Mohammed and Kevin are driving on a weekly basis...

I'd say no subs or missing items pretty much confirms it.

Nicholas brought me £8.99 wine instead of £5 wine -I reluctantly refused.

It would be good if they could confirm who would be delivering when you ordered as I guess you could forgo the wine on Jesus delivery days and go for several 2l bottles of water instead ;)

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 16:37

Well, I had no substitutions and no missing items and my packet of mackerel has fed the entire street so he could be the messiah.

LoonyRationalist · 06/04/2012 16:34

I had Nicholas in cabbage van this morning

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 16:25

I've not had a Classic before [preen]

Proof that Jesus answers prayers as well as delivers groceries.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 06/04/2012 16:15

I've got Robert in Strawberry due later. Obviously Jesus was busy.

Eric in the banana van? [bugrin]

We have moved this to classics now

mrsalwaysasimnelcake · 06/04/2012 14:37

Right that's it. Sod trying to save money, I want to order from Ocado. I want Jesus to deliver my loaves and fishes.
I'd settle for Mohammed though, although I don't think he's very big in these parts.

JesusInACabbageVan · 06/04/2012 13:31

Emmanana, normally when i drop a crate on my foot i say 'christ on a bike!' Grin

I'm thinking i might need one of those bunnies of peace today.......

Anyway, i can't stay. Today's not really the best day for me, what with the crucifixion and all that. Painful memories.

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 12:04

Busy with the crucifixion probably.

Iwasagnome · 06/04/2012 11:32

Well I normally get a text!
Bet they are busy

roguepixie · 06/04/2012 11:09

This thread has had me crying tears of laughter. Grin

Only have one Ocado text in my phone:

Josue in Onion Van!!!! How close can you get? Jesus, was that you in disguise?

emmanana · 06/04/2012 11:01

Do you have text notifications turned on in your account profile? Maybe you will get one later, as Soupdragon received the text after Jesus had left.

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 11:00

You need to add "text notifications" to your preferences.

Iwasagnome · 06/04/2012 10:57

I had a delivery but no text 1st -have they got wind of this?

emmanana · 06/04/2012 10:57

Bet his father was diappointed he didn't follow him into the family timber business... Grin

slowburner · 06/04/2012 10:55

I have to order from ocado.

Crying. Proper tears. Needed a laugh before trying to make Easter biscuits with a toddler......

TheHumancatapult · 06/04/2012 10:51

No cabbage van . Jesus was a chef Grin

emmanana · 06/04/2012 10:41

Does your husband work for Ocado SoupDreggon?

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 10:21

Are you Mary Magdelene?

And do you have a cabbage van?

TheHumancatapult · 06/04/2012 09:09

Sorry ladies . I beat you all hands down

Not only did I live with jesus . I also slept with Jesus

I have a son of Jesus . Infact have 2

My dc hate it if they asked who their father is because no one believes them

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 06/04/2012 08:35

Actually I think in light of all the variable names we have had with our lovely drivers we should expand the religious element to include everyone...

Although the gold, shimmering, gloriousness of the bunny shall forever hold forth as THE symbol forever Amen. Grin

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 07:47

I want Prince to deliver next!

KenDoddsDadsDog · 06/04/2012 07:14

I have a good image in my head now of Prince in a purple suit and a clipboard.

heliumballoon · 06/04/2012 03:14

I had Prince in a Strawberry van once. Renember thinking at the time it should have been a Raspberry (beret) van.

The first names were the result of a competition to name the vans. (I entered but didn't win. Clearly don't spend enough with them!).
