(Small) white van man arrived with Tesco order. I told him that I was expecting another d/y as well. "M & S ?" he said, returned to the van and brought over the Marks doz. as well.

That's jolly impressive Mr B. They are using local couriers with plain white vans. The last one from Laithwaites turned up in a non-liveried [spelling] short wheel base Ford Transit.

My Tesco order has just turned up as well, The delivery firm is YODEL the name takes up half of the signature screen. He says the operation is "a big firm"

This was an Escort (or equivalent). Tesco was due today (but no 2 hr slot), M&S "before 16th."
I usually have a little chat with this guy as the bike partially blocks the gateway and he came off his at over 100 mph. Multiple broken bits, multiple lacerations (even though wearing full leathers).

Tesco,

I wonder why they are trying so hard ? I also received the 5p off a litre petrol coupon till 5th June and did not spend £50.

Sains anounced a massive 12% growth in Business this last quarter - - So it's head to head then.

I got 24

6 each of

Yarra PN
TF Sancerre
GK's TF Cote Catalanes Red
and took a total punt on TF Ribera Del Duero £3.56 a bottle also.

2 boxes, a voucher in each.

They are a god send for anyone with the current prices and I've got a 50mpg diesel. Thankfully prices seem to have dropped a few pence in the last week, lets hope the trend continues.
