Man forced to 'eat scraps' after Sainsbury's van drives off with his food

A man said he was "living off scraps" after a Sainsbury's delivery driver refused to give him his food order.

William Wilford was left stunned on his doorstep when he was told he needed to show ID before he could receive his food delivery. The 37-year-old, who suffers from cystic fibrosis and diabetes, said he only has a birth certificate.

He told the driver he was "relying" on the £68.65 shop, as it had cost him the last of his cash and had forced him to live on leftovers as he eagerly waited the order's delivery. Although the supermarket later provided a refund, William was warned it could take days to process, leaving him facing a "dangerous" position of being both out of food and out of pocket.
