milkman

We used to get out milk delivered by the milkman despite it nearly breaking us, but hten he retired and they didn't replace him.  Not enough like us in the area.

When I was a tiny little girl we had a Milk Girl.  She used to arrive in a horse and cart with big milk churns on the back and everyone took out jugs for their milk. How old does that make me seem!!  ;D busy_lizzie

busy-lizzie. Now let me see!!!! In 1944/45 I was evacuated to Trecynon. (S. Wales)
our milk was also delivered in that way... Take jug out to churn. Poor old horse we were the last house at the bottom of a steep hill (block end)

we used to have milk delivered to the door till my brother was born 16 years ago then we moved and it was cheaper for her to walk over to the arndale ( 2 min walk ) then mum started part time work with me so she had it delivered again them she went to work in the arndale ( i was 19 then ) so it was best for her to do the shopping on her lunch brake and id finish work and pick it up in the car  take it home and unload for her then i started at the arndale wow what fun  if i run out of milk on my day off id phone mummy and she would get me some and if she run out on her day off shed phone me and id end up doing a weeks shop for her ( how i miss that )

Blimey YP, where do you get your milk from for a quid? 

Asda.  £1 = 4pints and £1.50 = 6pints  Like I'm going to argue with that! Hehe

[Mrs Ava]

That is good YP, cheaper than my Asda!

That's surprising isn't it?  I thought their prices would be fixed nationwide, oooeerr!  Even on their site (for home deliveries) it comes up as £1.

We get milk delivered 3 times a week. Having kids at home means we use quite a lot especially over the weekends (some weekends I do buy in extra if all of the kids are here).

I can't fault our milkman, never hear him delivering, he's polite and friendly, works every bank holiday and still only charges £4.18 for our 3 x 4 pints.

We'd definately spend more if we had to pop to the local shop or supermarket every time we needed milk.
