I stopped having milk delivered when my children were small cos we went through 6 pints a day and it was so much more expensive, now I use 6 pints a week as its only me and my daughter, OH uses soya milk . I think the milkman still delivers to a few so might go back to that.
I hated the milk in the playground too it was so warm and the boys used to make dissgusting noises enough to put you off for life.

I did have milk delivered when we moved in, but either ran out, or had too much in the fridge. I only use skimmed in tea and hate cereal for breakfast, the rest of the family drink full cream. I have tried to get them on to semi, but with OH refusing to use it, the kids follow him It made more sense just to pick it up when we needed it, and the cost was a factor too. Recently I've seen people with tetrapaks on the doorstep, so it looks as if the re-cycling of glass has ceased to be an advantage too.

Shop bought cow's milk = lots of toilet trips for me so I tried some real milk, by real I mean organic unpasteurised stuff.

Apart from tasting absolutely amazing (like cream) it didn't leave me feeling like I'd been kicked in the stomach.

If you can get the proper stuff give it a try.

I use Oatly instead of milk most of the time - tastes lovely and doesn't have the same effect on the internals as cowjuice

T'other 'alf uses bags of milk from Waitrose - organic milk from Wales that, due to being in bags, uses a much smaller amount of packaging than cartons.

We have a milk round here that we could get on, but it's far more expensive than what we pay for milk, so just not affordable at the moment.
