Online shopping in the UK?

[reddragdiva]

Just went shopping and had an asthma attack from going outside in 1°C. I've heard quite enough horror stories about Tesco's online shopping service (site looks nice, but is reputedly consistently shite at making an actual delivery and would substitute a side of beef for a watermelon). Waitrose-Online doesn't seem to work in Mozilla, and ocado.com doesn't seem to stock obscure items like, ooh, apples. So how is Sainsbury's (whose site at least appears sane)? And are there any others I haven't listed here?

Ickle about the asthma attack. I've heard of people putting layers of scarves around their mouth and nose to attempt to prevent an attack in colder temperatures. Mine seems to do better in cold weather then it does in the heat though rainy days has me sucking the inhaler every few hours.

Can't help with the grocers, sorry. I don't know that the US will ever have that sort of convenience; it'd mean people didn't need huge cars with huge trunks....

actually the US has had that kind of service for years. My mother had Telegrocery in the '80s and more recently there's been Peapod and others of that ilk.

I think Peapod is dead now, though, ran out of VC funding, or something like that.
