Milkman

[SIRandyraven]

Chap just knocked on the door and said "Local milkman".

We used to have a milkman when I was a kid , but we simply buy milk from Tesco now days in 6 pint containers.
The days of bottles of milk being left on the door step seem a life time ago.

Does anyone else still have a milkman ?

I don't like milk but have to keep some in the house for visitors so I would like one to call but I haven't seen one round here so I can only assume there isn't one. I buy groceries online from Tesco about once a month but the fruit goes off too quickly so I wish also there was someone with fruit that I could buy perhaps once a week. Some hopes!! I keep some milk and bread in the freezer but it would be nice to have it fresh.

We reverted to a doorstep delivery about 18 mths ago after a knock at the door. We feel we're supporting a local dairy. My only complaint is it now comes at about 1am so sits out all night in the summer. The tetrapak is better than having loads of plastic bottles to return too.

We used to have a regular milkman in our old area of South London.....Keith....never had the heart to ever tell him to stop calling round really.....he was, and still is brilliant and always spot on time before breakfast....one of my sisters who is in the same area still, has him calling each day with her 2 pinta's. Usually came for his money on Saturday mornings and had a chat and cup of tea too.

I miss him.....but I did see him about a year ago when we were over my sisters for the day....doorbell rang.....and I answered it..... he was surprised and he gave me a big hug.

I love the local milkman.....one day hopefully he'll move to the south coast and i'll adopt him permenantly. :0)

I haven't had milk delivered for years. One or two teaspoons of Marvel (dried skimmed milk) is handy for a cup of tea of coffee and long life soya (blue pack for preference) has lots of uses and nutrient value.

We started having milk delivered from a local dairy a few months ago. The quality of the milk is better than the stuff from the supermarket. Ours is delivered in the early hours of the morning and since best beloved works shifts we are usually still up when it arrives.

Have a milkman, delivers lots of different stuff. Saves me from carrying some things from the bus stop. Big thrill, get to use my cheque book!

Milkmen are yesterdays world, clinging on until they totally disappear

A bit like Liverpool as a top Premier League team

we started having doorstep deliveries in 2006 when i had a hip replacement and couldn't drive for a while- at least i knew i'd be able to have a cup of tea. You can change your order up to 9pm online the night before, so if you desperately need something, it will be there the next morning. Ours is a milkwoman. It's more expensive than buying it in the supermarket, buy i guess you are paying for convenience
