"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, last Saturday we were visited by Willock in the Courgette van, I have also had Marcos in Strawberry and Okie in Lemon. But Jesus is yet to make an appearance - maybe this weekend?!

Stratters · 03/04/2012 16:28

Ocado doesn't deliver out here :(

Hebiegebies · 03/04/2012 16:31

This week we had our food delivered by Ian in the cabbage van, sadly not Jesus.

There is also a Courgette, lemon & strawberry van here

"I had Jesus" [weeps]

I must say, I've been giggling about it all day. Naturally I have a screenshot of the text message for posterity.

I ave had the same driver more than once but not for a long time. It was always the same man a couple of years ago.

Never had Jesus before though.

Pray harder, Strattters, and Jesus may appear in his cabbage van.

oh man, that tops my delivery last week "Keith in the Lemon Meringue Van" brought mine, but YOU got Jesus! Grin

SoupDragon · 03/04/2012 16:33

I nearly forgot - he told me that he trains new drivers. Thus Ocado drivers are trained by Jesus.

Which explains why the service of out of this world.

S'not going to work, I shall just Envy you and your Jesus in his cabbage van.

cronsilksilt · 03/04/2012 16:35

I'm waiting for my delivery right this moment. Jesus has 25 mins left to get busy with the bread and fishes.

cronsilksilt · 03/04/2012 16:37

it's here - green bubbles

emmanana · 03/04/2012 16:39

Shame you didn't see the message before, you could have wished him luck for Friday.

SoupDragon · 03/04/2012 16:40

Trust me - it's best that I didn't know :o. He must hate this time of year.

When I had Mohammed, he was driving potato van.
( I am very sad, I keep all the ocado texts )

Stratters · 03/04/2012 17:08

I am so, so jealous of you all and your van driving deities. :(

StrawberrytallCAKE · 03/04/2012 17:11

I am absolutely ordering from ocado this week.

SoupDragon · 03/04/2012 17:12

A few of thoughts:
Do you think it is possible to collect a full set of disciples?
Is there scope for a game of Bible Bingo?
Has anyone had Jehova?

OP posts:
Stratters · 03/04/2012 17:14

Buddha in the Banana van maybe?

MightyNice · 03/04/2012 17:16

how come mine is delivered by Rupert in a plain white Waitrose van? :(

(no offence Rupert but that is our ferret's name and he is much better looking than you)

SoupDragon · 03/04/2012 17:16

Peter in the Pickle van?

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 03/04/2012 17:16

Might it be Rupert the Bear?

Just looked back at all my Ocado texts, two biblical ones:

Jakub in Strawberry van

best of all Adam in Apple van

SoupDragon · 03/04/2012 17:18

Adam Apple! [snort]

Never had Jesus but I've had Emmanuel in Strawberry van!

SuePurblybilt · 03/04/2012 17:21

ooo. This is why it sucks being poor. You'd not catch the Messiah in Lidl. Sad

I am using Jesus in the cabbage van as my new expletive, ta muchly.

ABatInBunkFive · 03/04/2012 17:21

Ocado don't deliver here, i'm never going to have Jesus. Sad
