Only with Ocado...

"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.

Right that's it. Sod trying to save money, I want to order from Ocado. I want Jesus to deliver my loaves and fishes.
I'd settle for Mohammed though, although I don't think he's very big in these parts.

RebeccaMumsnet · 06/04/2012 15:45

Eric in the banana van? [bugrin]

We have moved this to classics now

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 06/04/2012 16:15

I've got Robert in Strawberry due later. Obviously Jesus was busy.

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 16:25

I've not had a Classic before [preen]

Proof that Jesus answers prayers as well as delivers groceries.

I had Nicholas in cabbage van this morning

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 16:37

Well, I had no substitutions and no missing items and my packet of mackerel has fed the entire street so he could be the messiah.

LoonyRationalist · 06/04/2012 16:51

I'd say no subs or missing items pretty much confirms it.

Nicholas brought me £8.99 wine instead of £5 wine -I reluctantly refused.

It would be good if they could confirm who would be delivering when you ordered as I guess you could forgo the wine on Jesus delivery days and go for several 2l bottles of water instead ;)

emmanana · 06/04/2012 17:01

How fabulous this is being moved to classics. That was your work wasn't it Jesus? At least we have somewhere we can come and update which van Jesus, Mohammed and Kevin are driving on a weekly basis...

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 17:10

Jesus moves threads in mysterious ways.

ThatVikRinA22 · 06/04/2012 17:11

pah. ive got Stephen in the Onion van....and missing items. i was hoping for a miracle it being easter and all.

MandaHugNKiss · 06/04/2012 19:52

Oh, loony I think you missed a trick there - Nicholas was kinda gifting you because with Ocado if they sub you get the sub at the price of the thing being substituted. You could have had the £8.99 wine for a fiver! I think this is a nifty marketing ploy - if it turns out you prefer the more expensive items they win in the long run Wink

'Grats on making your first Classic, soup - it's certianly been a fun one!

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 06/04/2012 20:00

Robert is very close to missing his delivery slot. Hmmm.

One of them left me quite a shirty voicemail the other day just as I arrived home 5mins BEFORE the delivery slot started. Bet Jesus wouldn't do that.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 06/04/2012 20:27

Half an hour late and no phone call

SoupDreggon · 06/04/2012 21:10

Jesus wouldn't have been late.

Except possibly today when he may be, er, a little tied up. Or something.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 06/04/2012 21:14

He's just been. There was a message about it on my account when I logged in, so at least I found out what was going on. Holiday traffic.

So, if it wasn't for Jesus, it wouldn't be a holiday today and the order would have been on time. Although, as you say, he may have had his hands tied.....

mrsalwaysasimnelcake · 06/04/2012 22:53

Arf at moving threads in mysterious ways.
We have placed an order with Sainsbury's. No Jesus for me

emmanana · 06/04/2012 22:57

I can solve the mystery of his late arrival. He was parading around Trafalgar square in a loin cloth. He is actually quite hot. I was on a late lunch at work, so he was dead by the time I got there, but my colleague had watched him earlier.

EthelredOnAGoodDay · 06/04/2012 23:08

OP I am very jealous. I generally get someone or other (clearly not the man of the day) in the onion van, but I have also had ian in the juicy apple van. I'm in Yorkshire, we don't hold with fancy names. Grin

realhousewifeofdevoncounty · 06/04/2012 23:14

God - Jesus gets around a bit! Is he restricted to a particular area, or as the son of god is he omnipresent? Actually he can't be as ocado don't deliver to my area...

Hebiegebies · 07/04/2012 00:45

Emma, my DH saw him at Trafalgar Square too, very moved

SoupDreggon · 07/04/2012 08:38

Did he have his van with him in Trafalgar Square?

Figarello · 07/04/2012 10:37

I love this thread! Grin

My most interesting driver I have had was Ronald McDonald in Sensational Strawberry.

emmanana · 07/04/2012 11:15

I didn't see the van in Trafalgar Square. It was pretty cold though, and it felt kind of wrong, looking at him and thinking 'Oh Jesus has nipples like chapel coat pegs....'

SoupDreggon · 07/04/2012 11:20

LOL

MyDogShitsShoes · 07/04/2012 11:35

On holiday once we had to call maintenance as the toilet was broken.

Jesus on a bike arrived to fix it.

Tru fact.
