Originally posted by ladymuck View PostThe ocado website is a waste of time. When I do finally get to enter the shop they only give delivery dates for tomorrow and the next two days. All of which are fully booked. You try to scroll to the right for future dates and it just says "no delivery dates available" or such like. I have no idea who is snapping up the delivery slots as they get released. Maybe I have to set my alarm for 3 am or something nuts like that to get a slot.
Sticking with my local shops for now and may decide never to go back to a major supermarket if this nonsense doesn't get get under control soon.
There's also a large Tescos further down Cromwell Road in Earls Court.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

What is also tulipe is that there's a £60 minimum spend limit, which means most people just go mental, even if all they need is essentials in low quantities (I know, I know what's the point of delivering £10 of shopping).Comment

There's an excellent butcher and greengrocer literally around the corner who I would occasionally go to and who I am making more use of now. Much prefer to support them than the big supermarkets.Comment
