"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.

Yes, missing the van names here too, Stevie Strawberry, MimiStrawberry, Loquacious Lemon, Orson Onion.

Not that I'm over thinking this at all, but they must have upgraded their fleet, all the ones with names were 56 registrations, they are 59 onwards now with no names.

Just waiting to see who we get tomorrow.

Hebiegebies · 05/04/2012 22:50

I'm waiting for Jesus tomorrow, but to be honest as long as the Leg of Lamb arrives I'm happy to wait til Sunday :)

WhatFreshHellIsThis · 05/04/2012 22:40

Andrew in a strawberry van here. I have never been blessed by jesus or a cabbage van.

SarahStrattonsEasterName · 05/04/2012 22:31

OMG.

OMGOMGOMG.

Ocado may not deliver, but if I go via Waitrose they do deliver.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

Oh, I"ve not had van names... I feel quite cheated :( I wonder what Jesus's cabbage van was called?

Hulababy · 05/04/2012 22:18

I had Bally in onion van today, but I want Jesus next time.

I do mss the attached names the vans sed to have though. It's just plain apple, onion or courgette now. Last year they had names, so George Apple, Cooper Cabage, Toby Apple, Cornocopia Courgette, etc...

Greenknowe · 05/04/2012 22:15

My last one was John in Happy Apple van- he was a miserable sod though! Not even a smile Hmm

Previous highlights include: Zoltan in the Courgette,
Engin in Cabbage, and Emmanuel in Lemon

I have had Mimi Strawberry. WTF is a mimi strawberry?!

I have just looked at my texts and I think I have had a different fruit/veg the last EIGHT orders (!)

AnnoyingOrange · 05/04/2012 22:10

Apparently so Soupy.

However tonight's delivery was by Amin in a plain old Apple van, with no season attached

SoupDreggon · 05/04/2012 22:03

Aron Onion is good :o

Autumn apple? Are there different kinds of apple van then?

AnnoyingOrange · 05/04/2012 19:43

That courgette van gets around a bit

AnnoyingOrange · 05/04/2012 19:43

I've had Jolkot in Autumn Apple van

And Luke in Courgette van

silverfrog · 05/04/2012 19:22

I have a delivery booked for tomorrow, and am holding out high hopes.

d'ya reckon if I load up my order with Easter stuff I've got a better chance of getting Jesus to deliver it?

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 05/04/2012 19:18

just checked through the other ocado texts and have also had Aron in Onion Van.

Grin
Do you think they try to match the drivers to the vans?

RachelHRD · 05/04/2012 18:59

I've got John in Courgette tonight like a bit of variety Grin

Voidka · 05/04/2012 17:02

Kirsty may have been stoical about the milk, but if it had been SoupDragons milk she may have posted :

Jesus wept

SoupDreggon · 04/04/2012 22:03

No use crying over split milk eh?
