formatzero Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Are there any areas in the uk that still use glass milk bottles keep seeing them on tv ads ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yeah I used to get fresh milk each day, I was happy to pay extra as well to support my local milk man, but for some reason I'd get 2 days out of it in the fridge and ended up wasting so much.

Holden1989 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yep we get them delivered, a friend of ours came down from Birmingham the other day, and was facinated by them, i suppose we have always taken them for granted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 they still deliver them around here. i think thats the only perk of starting work so early - free milk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey, your milk mans early, ours rarely makes it before 12 we had to lodge a complaint about ours the other day because he was dumping them outside our gate and not even bothering to pop them by the front door, what ever happened to the friendly bloke with the 5mph milk float Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to nick the milkfloat whilst the guy was putting some on a neighbour's doorstep. He made it about 30 foot and crashed into his driveway's gate at about 5mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 This is quite a coincidence, as I was stuck behind a Dairy Crest milk float earlier today. I remember that episode of Father Ted where they did a parody of 'Speed', but on a milk float. Very funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 We don't even have a milkman to deliver cartons. Only a 5 minute stroll to the co-op though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 We used to get bottles at my old work and they were really annoying when the lids didn't come off properly, but tasted nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I liked the little ones we used to get at school with a straw!

Plenty of Milk Floats around Notts each day, looking reasonably stocked up dropping off milk at many houses along my street and others as I leave for work at 5:15am.
