RE: UKNM: Waitrose man in The Guardian

[Tom Hedges]

Hi Martin -


I'm not so sure if that would catch on - When I go to the supermarket I tend

to end up with 4 or 5 bags of goods (minimum) and I  couldn't image dragging

that lot back home on the Tube in rush hour... Sort of defeats the object of

the service being a home delivery....
