What this thread needs is someone to defend Nelly. You try.

I'm defending myself perfectly well. Hence why you keep on twisting things and putting forward fake arguments.

I’ve got a delivery slot myself for Wednesday. Do you think I should list my ailments here for you to decide if I’m vulnerable enough?

Yes.

No, I know you are. Its good youve got a delivery slot, youre exactly the type of person that should get them as a priority. If i lived near you I would have, genuinely, offered to get it for you.

 

This isnt defending Nelly though is it?

I went to Sainsbury’s yesterday.

Yes.

Sainsbury’s were all out of teabags. 
The only Pringles left were BBQ. 

I had a sore throat for twenty minutes this morning.

Wheres the twist and fake arguments? What have i got wrong?

 

You wouldnt give up or condone giving up a delivery slot to the vulnerable because it was too risky. Now you will because its not as risky.

 

I'm pretty sure that summarises it

[Anubis]

‘The only Pringles left were BBQ’ is obviously a euphemism for erectile dysfunction.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I've had my say anyway. I've got things to do. Like make some room in the fridge for tomorrow. I've got loads of food in, but got a delivery too as you can never be too sure, can you?

Spot on.

One thing I really miss from the UK is we used to get a veg and meat box delivered to my house every fortnight by these guys called Riverford. Get on it if they do deliveries in your area. Real fresh veg and organic meat. Their chicken taste so good.

 

Edit: apologies, I’ve just checked and they’ve stopped taking new orders.

 

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I wasn't sure about BBQ Pringles, but getting "a meat box delivered" is definitely a euphemism.

[aRdja]

A pretty interesting business too.

 

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/apr/07/riverford-organic-veg-employee-ownership-plan

 

Employee ownership, better known as the John Lewis model, remains a niche approach to business in the UK. But it is growing, and one West Country agricultural entrepreneur is the latest backer of an idea that has been embraced by more than 300 British companies.

Guy Singh-Watson is handing more than three-quarters of his Riverford Organic Farmers business to its 650 employees as part of plans to create a structure where the staff will have a say in the firm’s future.

....

 

Staff will not have to buy shares under the employee ownership plan; their 76% stake will be held in a trust overseen by a board that will be involved in running Riverford alongside a staff council.

Workers will share about 10% of annual profits, as they have since the 1990s, and a loan from ethical bank Triodos will let the business pay £6m over four years to Singh-Watson, who turns 58 this month.

The business is worth more than £20m, and Singh-Watson, who added the Singh to his name in 2014 after his second marriage, could have walked away with a much bigger pile if he had entertained an offer from one of the many City types seeking a slice of the fast-growing food delivery market.

This should always be at the end of this thread

Riverford's employees sound like lazy bastards to be honest. Oh, we've got loads of orders, best stop taking any new ones otherwise we might grow the business.

I don’t mind them prioritising existing customers especially when there are risks of non-delivery.

I think they're scum, there's likely many vulnerable people who can't get into their elitist closed shop because they can't be arsed scaling up and are content to rake it in rather than provide a service.

 

The preceding comment may not be entirely serious.

Went and picked up chicken breasts from Prahran market this arvo... probably most the premium market in Melbourne (@Audrey Witherspoon can verify) I can confirm that though it was decent, Riverford’s delivered better chook.

Ah, we used to shop there a fair bit, never known it was expensive, which is lucky I suppose. Cleo’s deli is fucking boss tho, get some good Spanish morcilla out of there, smart cold cuts, oh and green eggs for you to butcher.

[Bjornebye]

If you are capable of getting to the shop then do so and shop sensibly.

 

If you are booking a delivery in during this just because you are a lazy bastard then you are a fucking gobshite. 

 

People should do their bit no matter how big or small to help those elderly or vulnerable. You might think one little delivery of food because its convenient won't matter, well guess what, it fucking does. 

 

Amen.
