Today I have Fabian delivering to me and he's 15 mins away. I do so love the DPD tracker. I think Waitrose should have it on their delivery vans too.

I have Sultan from DPD. He wears sunglasses all the time.

He is very polite.

We have Liam. He smells delicious.

The UPS man, not so much.

Anniegetyourgun · 21/03/2016 13:07

Scented drivers. Gosh. That's service all right.

We had Sheik the Tesco man. He was lovely, we had a weekly date at 8pm on Sundays. He was going his Tesco job to pay for uni, then he graduated and got a managerial job with Tesco h/o and moved away. But, he's FB friends with Matt who now delivers at 8pm on Sundays. Matt keeps me up to date with hiw Sheik is doing.

We have Craig. I love Craig. In fact, I may do some shopping as it's been a while since Craig was here.

Redglitter · 21/03/2016 13:49

Do you think they just call all the drivers Craig or do we all live on the route of the same Craig

We had DPD Vlad once. He didn't look like a vampire, but you never can tell. Usually it's DPD Darren though. I insulted his van once - our parcel had got wet (contents ok) but it turned out that someone else had tried to deliver it the day before and it was their fault. He gave me evils for a while after that. I think we're ok now since I took in a parcel for the neighbours for him.

I've been waiting years for Jesus in the cabbage van... 😄

xenapants · 21/03/2016 14:12

Manuol here. Twice. To be fair, it was actually the same bloke both times, so perhaps it's not made up.

Dixiebell · 21/03/2016 14:13

Simba was our DPD driver last week.

happydollplease · 21/03/2016 14:16

We have a Craig too. Even when it's not actually Craig Grin

Sallygoroundthemoon · 21/03/2016 15:12

Just read the Jesus in the cabbage van thread in Classics. Choked on my tea giggling so much.

OurBlanche · 21/03/2016 15:54

We have Steve... cue the Meerkat Steve 'joke from DH ^every bloody time!

HermioneJeanGranger · 21/03/2016 16:02

Last time we ordered from Ocado, they told me Brian would deliver in the cabbage van. We had Paul in a tomato van. Liars!

I must not have enough stuff delivered by DPD as I’m not on first name terms with any of their drivers – sham, they all sound lovely. I’ve just searched my texts for them and found the only time I’ve had a DPD delivery, it was DPD Jon.

DieSchottin93 · 21/03/2016 16:56

Our DPD driver Neil comes round several times a week to deliver stuff, usually around dinner time. I'm just waiting for the day my mum decides to invite him in for dinner Grin

Hissy · 21/03/2016 17:23

We have Les! Comes almost every day to our work. He waves to us in the street on his way!

MsBojangles · 21/03/2016 18:06

Scented drivers. Gosh. That's service all right.

You're not kidding, mine usually reek of Lambert & Butler Confused

BlackeyedSusan · 21/03/2016 18:08

Sultan here too. Or used to.

Pipbin · 21/03/2016 18:16

I've had Innocent bring my ocado delivery before.

Cathster · 21/03/2016 18:24

We have Colin. He's brilliant, he checks to make sure the baby's not sleeping before knocking on the door!

emilyofnewmoon · 21/03/2016 19:40

We have Steve too OurBlanche. Wonder if it's the same one Smile

MargaretCabbage · 21/03/2016 19:43

Gursharn is our DPD driver. Pretty sure he hates us as he has to deliver all the food and litter for four cats.

MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 21/03/2016 19:51

I have Andrew from DPD.

I have yet to embarrass myself in front of him.Blush

Aeroflotgirl · 21/03/2016 20:00

Our Dpd driver is usually Sean. I gather it's their real name, why would it nit be.
