Wouldn't bother me if the food is sealed and there are bottles/tins. No different to picking it up off the supermarket shelf yourself, you have no idea how many people have handled it.

It's not quite other peoples food if they never got it in the first place. I'm sure Waitrose got all the deliveries out eventually, meaning Choffer was merely stealing from the man. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned up an hour later and they’ve sent me someone else’s order. Called them to let them know and they told me to keep it. All sort of free goodies. Half an hour later, my order turns up. 40 minutes after that, it turns up again. Three deliveries, £150 quids worth of stuff and they tell me to keep it all. I’m shopping with them again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 @choffer You should call them up and complain about something from the first incorrect delivery . Tell them the salted caramel asparagus tips are a personal attack against your religion and you want to exchange them for 2 bottles of The Glenlivet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming choffer didn't just keep quiet until after loading it all in to his house! I tried to refuse the final delivery but they sub it out to Deliveroo and the driver shrugged and told me he couldn’t do anything about it. Tried to ring Waitrose about it but they were closed by the time it arrived. I tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it's the Waitrose arm of the company that's losing money tbh, more likely to be JohnLewis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that needs chilling is getting chucked anyway I'm not sure where it stands with chilled vans but I was in Morrisons and saw that their policy was, if it leaves the store then it can't be used again. Saw someone return something after getting to the car, as it was the wrong item, not sure if they were exchanging or getting a refund but it was getting chucked even though it had been out of the store no more than 5 mins. I think he said he'd have it then if it was being chucked and they agreed, so a a little freebie for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I was paying £10 a month for 9gb of data on a rolling 30 day contract with giffgaff. Just switched to a 12 month contract with O2 (same network as giffgaff) still £10 a month but get 15gb of data and 6 months Disney+ included/free. I’m pleased with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried about this, but today has put my mind at ease. At work I essentially use it as 3 screens, so my primary work is in the middle half, then on the sides I have 1/4 of the screen at each end as resources. Email, chat...Spotify. And it's all perfectly legible, but not as accessible. For gaming, 2/3 in the middle is great, the rest operates as "peripheral vision". It was extortionate. Really, really, eye watering expensive, but it is fantastic. I ordered it 4 times and cancelled it 3 times, but I'm glad I kept it. VT looks a bit shit at fullscreen though.

Tegis Posted February 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2021 Or someone put the bet in for him. No need to tell the story until the money has been transferred. Mug off bookies should be a knighthood'able deed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I just don’t think bookies would take bets on “pitch invasions” .. it would just encourage people to do it at every major sporting event They should stick this clearing in the woods in jail for 30 days or something to make every other self publicist think twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
