Ocado Jam

“Sorry I’m late. There was an Ocado jam in the road.”

I think I may get an Ocado van so that I can leave it in the middle of the road while I’m dropping things off. Perhaps they pay a higher road tax for the privilege?

This may be why Waitrose don’t use their own branded vans…to protect their brand image?

The upside of all this is that I’ve learned a bit about Ocado. Look at the Ocado history and you’ll see that Goldman Sachs are significant shareholders and the John Lewis Partnership transferred their ownership into their pension fund.

Also, Ocado is making good use of iPhone apps and Android apps. Maybe I should give the Ocado service a try and then apologise to my neighbours for the occasional road block.
