"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.

well we had a bit of an issue re a split milk carton, but once we got that sorted out we had a laugh about JEsus in his Cabbage Van. She didnt know Jesus but she did laugh.

I hope Kirsty becomes my regular driver. Grin

Girl power! Has anyone had a delivery from a Mary. Jesus , jozef and Mary would be a laugh at the office party !

SoupDreggon · 04/04/2012 15:03

LOL I can picture the scene

"So, Kirsty, do you know Jesus..."

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 04/04/2012 15:01

oh, its Kirsty in the Apple Van - but it IS a girl! should be here between 5-6, shall report back... if she is friendly I might ask her if she knows Jesus. Grin

SoupDreggon · 04/04/2012 14:50

And...?

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 04/04/2012 08:07

Cliff in strawberry? I wonder if there's a Hank and a Bruce? Surely a line prize for having all the Shadows Grin

Keith in Apple and Michael in tomato delivered in January. Do I get a prize for half the Rolling Stones?

RachelHRD · 03/04/2012 23:05

LoL Grin

No Jesus but I've had :
Emil in Lemon
Cliff in Strawberry
Dawid in Strawberry (not @ the same time!)
Piotr in Cabbage

It's a wonder they get any deliveries done with all this action Wink

LOL Psammead

My mate had a mechanic called Jesus. He'd say 'I'm taking Barbara to see Jesus; she's not running too well.'. Although cant remember if his bike was called Barbara now; baby fact-leach.

I've just placed my Ocado order- am praying for Jesus!

StringOrNothing · 03/04/2012 21:28

I had Jesus yesterday! (strictly in his grocery delivery-capacity)
Tis clearly an Easter special. But he was in the Apple van, agree that he was not the fabulously good looking Banderas-alike I may have hoped for, and moaned about the fact that his route was strange which was why he was late, in a manner which suggested he was angling for a tip.

BobblyGussets · 03/04/2012 21:27

Do I get any point for Dudley (he's about 95 and all) in the Iceland van? I only do it occasionally, but when I do, I never let him carry my bags from the van into the house in case he does himself a mischief.

I'm gutted I've not kept m Ocado texts :( I even checked, to no avail, past orders online in the vague hope they may tell me how delivered them.

Jesus, deffo.

MandaHugNKiss · 03/04/2012 20:19

FOr clarification re: using as a mild expletive, should it be pronounced:

Jesus in a cabbage van

or

Hey-zeus in a cabbage van?

5inthebed · 03/04/2012 20:11

Definitely going to me my new non sweary word Grin

moojie · 03/04/2012 20:07

I'm sad too and just looked back through my Ocado texts...on the 20th March my shopping was delivered by Godwin in a cabbage van! Grin

Whatevertheweather · 03/04/2012 20:05

This thread has made my day Grin

swlmum · 03/04/2012 19:59

Ooh- just looked and had jozef in the strawberry van last week. ALMOST dad of Jesus.

I had Hose in Potato van, and like this iPad, the waitrose keyboard is english language, the name was sent without the necessary accent on the e.
