frozen milk

We had little blue straws.... ah.

You were lucky our straws were white made out of waxed paper

When we first moved into the village, the local dairy farm further down the road bottled their own milk and cream (in pint bottles,mind you!). If we required an extra pint we just went to the farmhouse door and asked the farmer. Now the bulk tanker comes every day and takes the milk away to who knows where. The milkie we had then would deliver at some unearthly hour of the night or early morning so we always had fresh mik for breakfast, but then he retired and the new milkie only delivers three days a week and the milk is never there in time for breakfast. The old ways seem to be disappearing fast. Make way for the new!

If you were really hard you would have sucked it straight from the Cow.

While it was moving.!


But lets not go there.

I used to be a 'Milk monitor' No wonder I was a podgy little b*gger, I used to guzzle what ever was left, emptying one bottle after the other!

Both my brother and I are 6ft7/6ft6. My Dad is 5ft9-10. Apparently our milkman was a lofty soul!

Could be that its just damm good milk in your area!

I was a milk monitor too - used to love warm milk days - there was always more left over to finish off Funny thing is I hardly ever drink milk these days!

Can't stand milk and not allowed it anyway - bummer (almost) if it freezes in the mookies, though the local farmers seem to have taken their herds inside it's been so bleeding cold down here for the past two weeks - but the good news is, no frost this morning.

I can remember milk freezing in the bottle outside the front door when I was a smallie and all the other people that used to deliver - the coke (the black burning stuff, not the white sniffing stuff) was delivered by the bloke from near the local railway station with a hoss and cart.

Yeh...those waxed paper straws took some skill to use....if you squashed the soggy sucking end, they'd collapse and then you'd have to try and suck harder or try and tear the end off and the straw eventually became too short.
( maybe that's how I became such a good kisser!!)

I don't know...the kids of today ........

My wife and I decided we would quite like to start up having a milk delivery.

I contacted two companies who's floats I'd seen in the area.

Neither of them could be sure of delivery before 8:00am, which is really useful when you leave for work at 7:30am!!

Even if the milks a day old Doctor it's still probably younger than the stuff in Tesco's.
Just had a thought, if you had your milk delivered it would be 'Just what The Doctor ordered' !!!!! Tis the time of year for bad jokes!
