WTF-Delivery Driver Conduct
Discussion
Our groom (horse carer for the hard of thinking) had a tesco food delivery the other night.
Whilst delierying the food the driver mentions that he knows the bloke who lives in the house, me,(she has a flat above the stables behind our house).
He then goes on to say that I'm a s
t farmer and how he should have fired me when he had the chance. The problem here is I've never worked with him or for him, in fact I've seen him for a total of no more than 10 minutes in my entire life! Along with this he claims he had an 8 year relationship with my current boss and only ended it when he caught her shagging a 60 year old bloke on the kitchen table! Again this is all b
ks.Our groom then called tescos when he left and said she doesn't want him delivering here ever again and that she wants something to be done about his behaviour.
Is there anything else we can do? Obviously it's slander and if he's going around rubbishing me I'd be inclined to petrolbomb his life as he's acting like scum

Keep calling back looking for updates on the status, and if the action goes cold, start sending letters higher up.
You'll want to go at a two pronged attack, one on your own slander which is deeply offensive, and how the rumours could cause severe problems to those concerned, and then another angle of highly unprofessional conduct of the driver to engage in conversation that is likely to cause alarm and distress.
The power will be in the slander, and they'll be able to use the unprofessional conduct as a disciplinary matter.

S1, that didn't make much sense. Can you try again.Whilst delierying the food the driver mentions that he knows the bloke who lives in the house, me,(she has a flat above the stables behind our house).

Why have you got it in for the delivery driver? How do you know it's not your groom (is that a horse carer for the hard of thinking?) that's not just claiming the delivery driver said it?
And more seriously, whether or not you're a st farmer, if he thinks he should have fired you when he had the chance then fair enough, but I don't think that's slander. And if he told your groom (horse carer for the hard of thinking) that he had a relationship with your boss, then on what possible grounds could you have him for slander? You've already said you know it isn't true (and you were very quick to point out said boss's innocence to us), so the boss has no gorunds for slander, and neither do you as your reputation hasn't been harmed.
Now your OP, on the other hand. That's not done you any favours...

Condensed version.
The bloke who delivered the tescos delivery i met once for about 10 minutes on the farm i work on once, he used to date the farm's owner, then the relationship ended. The next year he stopped working for the farm.
He now delivers for tescos, whereby he told our groom (horse carer) this 'story' about me being useless at farming (this is despite him having never seen me do any work and having never worked with me) and how he caught his ex-gf (the farm owner & my boss) shagging another bloke on the kitchen table once.
So once he left, our groom (horse carer) called tescos and complained
Is that better?

His behaviour is totally unprofessional, did you work for him in the past or has he mistaken you for someone else.
Either way he should not have mouthed off to someone who would have no business to know what you were like as a farmer or who he had shagged in the past.
Very strange scenario tbh but the guy is totally out of order even if he has his facts wrong.
