"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.

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?

SoupDreggon · 04/04/2012 15:03

LOL I can picture the scene

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

emmanana · 04/04/2012 16:51

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

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 04/04/2012 21:27

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

SoupDreggon · 04/04/2012 22:03

No use crying over split milk eh?

emmanana · 04/04/2012 22:26

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

Jesus wept

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?

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?

AnnoyingOrange · 05/04/2012 19:43

I've had Jolkot in Autumn Apple van

And Luke in Courgette van

AnnoyingOrange · 05/04/2012 19:43

That courgette van gets around a bit

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 22:10

Apparently so Soupy.

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