My cousins had collies as working dogs. I spent lots of time with the dogs whenever I visited. My favourite was watching them herd rabbits for fun when we went for walks - working as a team to flush them out of hedgerows and then chase them

In the UK at least, Deliveroo is almost everywhere, and Uber Eats is more or less only in cities where Uber is a licensed minicab - which is most major metro areas, but not smaller towns and so on. From that alone, I'd guess Deliveroo
