Hitler can't get a Tesco delivery slot

Adolf is very annoyed that Tesco have reduced the number of deliveries to the Isle of Lewis
00:00 - 00:03 | Fuhrer, Tesco have reduced the number of deliveries to Harris. |
00:04 - 00:05 | Their vans will travel south of Balallan |
00:05 - 00:07 | on Tuesdays and Fridays only. |
00:08 - 00:12 | Tesco claims the people of Harris aren't booking enough slots |
00:12 - 00:15 | to justify sending us three vans a day. |
00:17 - 00:19 | This can't be right, |
00:19 - 00:21 | I have regular slots. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Fuhrer... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Last night... |
00:31 - 00:33 | We were both on the phone all night trying to book your next slot |
00:34 - 00:36 | with zero success. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone in this room who has successfully booked a Tesco delivery slot, must leave immediately. |
01:13 - 01:15 | What do you expect me to do now? |
01:15 - 01:17 | Go to Brownie's or AD's instead?!! |
01:18 - 01:23 | And you're seriously taking the p*** if you think I'm going all the way to Ardhasaig Garage! |
01:25 - 01:28 | And as for the community co-op in Leverburgh, |
01:29 - 01:31 | why does Neil always ask if I bought fuel, |
01:31 - 01:34 | even when it's obvious I rode there on my bicycle? |
01:34 - 01:37 | Whatever happened to: "You shop, we drop"? |
01:37 - 01:40 | Tesco don't like Hushinish. All those cows on the road. |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Fuhrer, those cows are an essential part of crofting life. |
01:42 - 01:46 | B*llocks to crofting, Harris Tweed and cows on the road. |
01:46 - 01:48 | Mein Fuhrer, now you're going too far. |
01:48 - 01:52 | And all those damned motor homes and cyclists in the summer. |
01:53 - 01:54 | Is it any wonder? |
01:56 - 01:57 | Imagine you're a Tesco driver, |
01:57 - 02:00 | three cyclists ahead of you, staring at buzzards and eagles, |
02:00 - 02:03 | not paying attention to the other road users behind them. |
02:04 - 02:08 | Motor home drivers who don't know how to use passing places. |
02:08 - 02:13 | while searching for a chemical toilet disposal point and somewhere to dump all their rubbish. |
02:14 - 02:16 | It's obvious there isn't enough infrastructure |
02:17 - 02:21 | to support the increased number of visitors to the island during the peak season. |
02:27 - 02:29 | I blame TV's Ben Fogle |
02:30 - 02:34 | and all those other celebrities who tell everyone how beautiful it is here. |
02:34 - 02:36 | Why can't it be like the old days? |
02:41 - 02:42 | Before the island had electricity. |
02:43 - 02:47 | Before the road between Tarbert and Stornoway was double track. |
02:48 - 02:53 | People used to visit and talk to eachother. |
02:54 - 02:56 | You know... if this bunker was on the west side |
02:56 - 02:59 | I could easily get three grand a week for it during the peak season, |
03:00 - 03:02 | but some bright spark decided to build it on the Golden Road |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's OK... he likes Scadabay really. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Maybe it's for the best. |
03:19 - 03:23 | We didn't have Tesco deliveries in Harris when I was a boy and we managed to survive. |
03:25 - 03:26 | Who needs a slot? |
03:31 - 03:33 | I think I'll miss my £3 meal deals |
03:40 - 03:46 | I'm going to start using the local shops again. I like reading the little adverts in Brownie's window and buying booze in Ardhasaig |
03:46 - 03:49 | when they open up again for that extra hour. |
03:53 - 03:56 | It's all going to be OK. |
