You sure we've not got you on the pay roll? ;)
I'm probably supposed to point out that other supermarket home delivery services are available.

But really. It's great.

Strangely I have run out of virtually everything, and having a day off tomorrow I'll do it in person.

However, if I thought TG might be coming round in the van, I'd order individual grapes to be delivered in each delivery slot.

That's the dirtiest thing I've ever heard.

Bravo.

D'you know, I hadn't actually thought of it in that way.

But having said that I don't have a problem with anyone taking it in the manner of Gav's disgusting mind.

I seem to be learning things here that, perhaps, I ought not to know.

I always leave 'er indoors to deal with the delivery. Do you thing that's wrong?

Not unless she's a big tipper. I'm quite partial to them myself.

In many cases, I wish my straight male customers WOULD leave the women to do it. Inevitably, they panic and bugger things up.

They're a lovely idea, but unless properly trained, mainly useless when it comes to shopping...

You don't even need the last bit of the sentence so I've cut it off.

Awww, TG, I come over all starry eyed when you're around.

It might be the heat, but I don't think so.

Meanwhile, back to Tesco...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7442601.stm
TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has been told he must pay Tesco £86,000 to put his concerns about chicken welfare to the supermarket's shareholders.

The River Cottage presenter wants Tesco to adopt a policy forcing suppliers to improve conditions for birds.

He is tabling the proposal to the supermarket's annual general meeting.

However Tesco says that he submitted the documents too late - and it is only fair that he should bear the cost of sending the papers to investors.

Firstly, true. It was rather redundant...

Secondly, thank you, kind sir. I'd suggest glasses though ;)

I like you, mister! 8-)

Is this what I get for being in a minority of less than 10 but greater than 4?

I'm off to the Morrisons thread. The water's getting a bit too deep and hot for my liking over here.
