motherhen Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 We still get milk deliveries Not only is the bottled milk on the doorstep non-homogenised, but we can now get organic milk delivered by our milkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Its such a good idea. Unfortuantely our milkman comes round after 9am and as we leave for work before 6 it wouldnt last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The one local to me did (does??) that but he was so noisy I had to complain to the company he used to go past the house at 40mph in second gear over a speed bump at 4am and it used to wake me every night I would get such a fright I couldn't get back to sleep I even stopped him and asked him to at least slow down but got nowhere I wasn't the only one being woken and he soon was being boycotted by everyone and now I don't see him in the area shame really one selfish git and everyone suffers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I remember them Clare!! You might be able to find a picture of one at the rather anoraky Milk Bottle News web site http://www.milkbottlenews.org.uk/ I would spend more time looking, but quite frankly I have lost the will to live, just spending a few minutes there.

The Dogmother Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Pants on fire Graham That's them We used to get gold cap, and all the cream gathered in the top of the bottle and my sis and I used to fight over who'd have it on their Weetabix In the winter, the milk would freeze and rise up out of the bottles.
