Irrationally excited about the milk delivery.

I'd love to go back to having milk delivered in bottles but sadly our local dairy closed a long time ago as not enough people wanted it.

We've always had our milk delivered in glass bottles from local farms. Our younger generation are now embracing it as well. It is somehow comforting to see the milk bottles lined up on doorsteps again.

I so miss having our milk delivered by an actual milkman. When he retired a few years ago the round was taken over by another company who only delivered 3 times a week and almost doubled the price. They used a noisy van and not a milkfloat so we now have all our milk from the supermarket.

Sad to say many years ago stopped my milk delivery. EVERY morning woken at 3 am by sound of milk float and clanking of milk bottles as being delivered to my door. Non of my neighbours had milk delivery.I was sorry to do this. I know milk delivery people deliver more than milk so are a link for may and have on many many occasions been instrumental in discovering problems related to vulnerable clients. Because of this would have wanted to support service but I needed my sleep!!!!!

We’ve just stopped it, in the Summer the milk is on the doorstep from 1am and goes off too quickly for us, plus we don’t think it’s as creamy as supermarket milk, even though we tried the various types.
The real problem was that he came on the nights we have the dog and he would set her off in the middle of the night with his bright lights and clanking bottles.

We have it delivered, as I don't have milk it saves me having to remember to buy it!

I have only had milk bottles ,my milkman is 3rd generation ,
I can remember his grandparents delivering milk

We have never stopped milk deliveries to the door step and proud that we have helped keep someone employed and a lovely tradition alive. Do you remember when milkmen delivered seven days a week. Dustmen came weekly, to collect the household rubbish and postmen delivered twice a day. We never knew what a lucky lot we were

I have had milk delivered to my doorstep all my life.
I can understand why people buy it in the supermarkets though: so much cheaper!

ours arrives about 2am ,so we're often still up .We get it from a farm I can see from my front windows .Its in plastic for now but they are talking about going back to glass .We've had our milk from the same farm for the 45 years we've been married

On the odd occasion that I wake early I can hear the familiar sound of the milk delivery and rattle of bottles as he drives along in his milk float. I'm then taken back years I can understand how you feel.

It's like finding a nice little surprise on your doorstep isn't it! I've had my milk delivered in glass bottles for a long time and could never understand why people chose to lug heavy litres of milk home from the supermarket instead of having it delivered fresh to their door. But now that people are more ecology conscious, more and more are going back to the daily milk delivery. Much better for the environment.
