The Mystery of the Appearing Shopping

[sally_maria]

Yesterday morning I opened my curtains just before 9am, to find that someone had left two full carrier bags tucked just inside our garden wall. We investigated, and found food from Waitrose, new saucepans and other kitchen equipment. It had rained the night before, and they weren't wet, but at least the food must have come from Cheltenham, not here.

Baffled, we left the bags out, assuming their owner would come back for them, but no sign so far, they are still there.

Someone could, I suppose, have got off the early bus, struggled bringing them up the hill and left them for later, but you'd think they would have been back for them within 24 hours...

Does it look like it could have been an Ocado delivery? We have had things delivered to us when the delivery men have failed to find the correct address within the postcode and simply dumped stuff on us. One was left on the doorstep and the other was tucked behind a bush in the garden.

Have Ocado now merged with Yodel? :o

I don't think so in this case, as it looks like they've reused other carrier bags, with Waitrose ones inside. (As for these delivery drivers, you do wonder what's going through their heads sometimes. I swear, half the time they go to more work to avoid delivering the parcels than they would if they just got on with it.)
