Yeah, I enjoyed it too. I only went to Paul Ricard once (1994) and
it was absolutely amazing, what a weekend.

Tescos home delivery. Although the £4 charge is a bit rich considering
I'm only 1 mile from the depot they come from.
Or I ask any of the visitors to bring whatever with them when they visit
next, god bless their little cotton socks.

It is. Especially as the only large supermarket near me is Waitrose. 12
miles to Asda and 11 to Tesco are the next nearest. So, I tend to pick up
fresh fruit in local shops or markets and a basket of stuff from Tesco
Metro once a week. Once every 3/4 weeks order all the bulky stuff to be
delivered. We seem to be spending less, too, as the trolley doesn't get
filled with all those extra items you fancy at the time.
http://www.hotukdeals.com/ often has discount codes so you can get free
delivery or money off.

The cleaner has problems using a mobile, one friend doesn't do emails
outside of work (closed system), and someone else is famous for getting
about 75% of what you ask for, however you ask for it.
I have emailed Ross a shopping list a couple of times.
Or are you offering to do my shopping for me if I email you the list?
Still, only a week and a half to go before my next appointment and they
hopefully say the plaster can come off.

What I'm objecting to is the flat fee, regardless of how far from the
depot you live.
As I live close to the main store and the main warehouse in MK, I'm
subsidising the people who lives live miles away.
Imagine a bus route where it cost the same amount from any stop to any
other stop, if you only wanted to go one stop along, you'd feel a bit
ripped off.
OTOH it'd cost some money to implement the post code lookup and distance
calculation system which'd have to be passed on.

The alternative? Have a department of 5000 people calculating individual
charges for picking each order and delivery. Where would you have the cut
off? 10 items, 20 items, 10kg, 20kg, 1 mile, 5 miles, 10 miles?
The mileage covered by the van is only a part of the cost of delivery. Much
of the cost will be infrastructure and wages.

Tesco deliver from the stores, not the depots. Altough as pointed out
elsewhere, most of the cost does not arise from the mileage - it's
getting the boxes picked and loaded onto the van.

AFAIK they pick and deliver at store level - nothing comes from a depot.
The only company who use depots to deliver customer shopping is
Waitrose, as they sub-contract to Occado.
Driving time and fuel to deliver is only a very small proportion of the
cost of picking deliveries (main cost is getting someone to walk around
the store with a scanning gun picking and packing your order), so even
if they did implement a charge based on distance from the store, the
difference would be so marginal it would barely be worth doing.

We saved more than the fee due to the reduction in impulse buying.

The Tesco website is quite easy to search for things, and it remembers
past orders, so its all to easy to browse for impulse buys. Donuts,
popcorn, etc.
Haven't done that with anything that costs more than a couple of quid
though.

It is?
How much do you earn an hour when working?
I say an hour - by the time you've driven to the store, made your selections
and then driven home, the whole process is probably longer, even for someone
only buying a selection of microwave meals for one.
Anyway, regardless... even your average lackey walking the floors of the
store concerned clears more than that, and you don't have to mix with all
the other pikeys doing their shopping either.
It doesn't matter how muc further other customers who use the service
concerned are from the store - given, unless I'm mistaken, the goods you are
buying online are the same price as those in the store and therefore aren't
loaded up, it's a bargain unless all you need is a pint of milk and some
wank mags / rags, in which case I'd suggest planning your shop a bit better
to maximise the benefits.

Course, I haven't bought a bus ticket in years. That's where travelcards
come in, though such a communist idea would probably have frag in

I vaguely recall the New York subway working in much the same way but
with a bonus twist - because the only way to get between lines at some
interchanges is at street level, you're allowed to go in and out of
stations on the same journey. Do a round-trip quickly enough and you can
do the whole thing on a single fare.
Or, at least, you could when I was there 5 years ago.

The "fare * (distance travelled / transport running costs)" is still
greater for short journeys though, but as you say, people don't care so
long as it's cheap enough.

Been to quite a few, but as a tourist you don't get to take different
length journeys on the the same bus routes that often :)

Heh, it was just a fer'instance.
Anyway, in retrospect, taking in to account the picking and packing that
Tescos have to do, which I'll admit I didn't really consider, £4 is a
good price.

I think so, yeah. 2 quid cash, 90p oyster. Something like that, anyway.
You can't change buses or routes on the same fare though.

When we were in Kent it was about 10 miles to the nearest supermarket so
we used the TESCO delivery thing and it worked very well at first as
they would pick your delivery from their main warehouse.
When that stopped and it came from the store, the quality of the fruit
and veg dropped markedly. (Sloppy selection of stuff?)
At the same time a farm shop opened not far aware so we got our fruit
and veg there and TESCO delivered the rest.

I am going to have a stab[1] at getting on site by public transport

Similar to Brussels, flat fare valid for an hour from first use. So a
