It's quite simple, Kel and North. My original post suggested that Tony has been handed his arse on a plate so often that we have simply run out of plates.


There then followed various suggestions as to how to deal with this - involving buying more plates (arse-shaped or otherwise), or using paper plates, skewers or napkins.


These were all excellent suggestions, but Tony has in fact supplied a more elegant answer by handing himself his own arse on a plate on this very thread.

So, Ted, does that mean that some people actually read Tony's posts?


To me they're a bit like the high pitched noise MrJ's docking station makes when it's switched on, but doesn't have an i-pod on. I know it's there, I can kind of hear it, but I just filter it out and carry on with what I'm doing.

They sound great, RosieH.


But listen folks, I'm not here to diss Tony, his posting style, views, or whatever. He's as entitled to post as anyone else, for as long as he likes, as often as he likes. Indeed, I suspect I am not alone in having a sneaking regard for his sheer doggedness.


This thread was intended merely to remind the Forum to buy more plates.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
