im sorry if they cant delievr due to the weather thats fair enuff, how did people mange years ago before home deliveries, sorry Its to conveinant and easy nowadays for people quick to balme the companies cause they cant deliver try and get shopping from a local shop or get up off your @ss and make the effort ..sorry to be so blunt

Years ago the milkman delivered, the grocer delivered, the corner shop delivered, there was just a brief gap when the supermarkets grew and delivery was not an option. In those days not only were the council more likely to grit the road but the coal fires meant that people put cinders down on the paths to make it easier (my uncle is still doing this). Not all people were good neighbours and not all families rallied round but people were a lot more willing to twitch the curtains and there was a better chance of noticing someone who was stuck. Also, people were more likely to be carried off by TB, heart disease, etc before they got too frail to walk on slippy pavements, life expectancy has risen.

If someone talks about the past I wish they would get it right.

Mr S rang four hours before delivery to say sorry, and I really didn't mind, there is so much weather. They gave us the option if someone could collect it then they would 'pick' the order - but it wasn't practical. The problem is not the cancelled order but the guarantee that was completely impossible to meet.

maybe it failed and is having repairs, what gives you the right to ask such questions anyway

I think if you post on a public forum, you have to accept that not everyone will agree with your point of view, and may question what you have said, and whether your interpretation is the correct one.
