glass milk bottles

[Connemmara]

Visited a cousin of mine last week and could not believe she was leaving out the above for the milk man.

I haven't seen a milk bottle in years - have you and where cos I do think the milk is much nicer from a glass bottle and would love to buy some.

milk is hermogonised now,in the main,hence less likely to have cream at top

I was still having milk delivered in glass bottles up until a couple of years ago, I stopped because it kept getting stolen from my doorstep, even if I was up early it would be gone already.

Hello Alba,
No it was in a third of a pint glass bottle, like the school milk.

If i remember rightly i think the orange drink in a triangular carton was called Jubbly. It was often sold frozen.

glass milk botles are still used in truro. a friend gave me some milk a few weeks ago and it was in glass bottles. much nicer than plastic ones or cartons.

I would tell you the joke about the milk bottle but you would all see through it!

I started getting milk delivered last week, that comes in bottles and is actually cheaper than my local shop, also get orange juice from him in glass bottles which is actually cheaper than the stuff from the supermarket and so much nicer.

I always hated the milk in bottles and that lump of vile cream at the top.

When we were living at home my poor parents spent a fortune on milk. We would have 3 pints delivered every weekday and 13 pints on a Saturday. Bet the milkman was sad when we moved.

We still have milkmen, and the glass bottles, in this village (in South Cambridgeshire). The dairy is three miles away.

School milk was in bottles of one third of a pint. It tasted foul sometimes because the cattle were on some winter feed made, if I remember rightly, from root crops.

Full cream milk is not a description you see now much,if at all. You see 'full fat' milk; there may be some weasel word distinction there . Full cream milk from a Jersey herd would, for some part of the year, be nearly as much cream as milk.
