Today, I have had my 2nd experience with online grocery shopping. The first experience was with Sainsbury’s while living in a fourth for flat in chelsea and was a dismal failure. About a third of the goods arrived 4 days late. Now, whilst living in a normal house in a normal street (at least ish) and armed with a 15 pound discount voucher for ocado.com my flat mates and I attempted another internet shop.

It would appear that, whilst paraphrasing Lincoln, it is possible to get some of the things to be all of what you want, and all of things to be some of what you want, but never – in our experience at lease – all of the things to be all of what we want. It is and apparent lottery. Notable completly missing things are ALL THE WINE! Other than that no subsitutions, but I accidentally ordered Kidney Beans in chilli sauce, which will be exciting.
