The Milkman

[HIM777]

if i could bring back the milk man on a commercial scale, would you buy from him?

[Zeuhl]

No

Too intrusive. Too much commitment

supermarket + plastic bottles + fridge = buy milk once a week and top up as and when we need it

And I'm not sure the Float could cope with the speed humps in our road

[emmie]

no.

[spudqueen]

Still have a milkman, and I buy milk from him, though I think he also sells orange juice, potatoes and yoghurts.

[boxtops]

no, there's nowhere outside to leave milk here, and we are out all day. We only drink about 2 pints a week anyway - it wouldn't be worth it.

[emmie]

you appear to have too many irons in the fire, going on your other posts.

[Canary42]

Yes, providing I could order online on a day by day basis (which is possible is some parts of the UK I understand).

[wildwood]

No. Only use milk for coffee/tea now, so make it from milk powder.

I have milk delivered 3 times a week. Choice of plastic or glass bottles. They deliver any quantity, any frequency. Also other foods. I live in a village, so it must be worthwhile delivering to me and to neighbours. It clearly can be done.

[cupotee]

No I don't think I would. Its so easy to buy once a week and I usually have a small carton in the freezer too in case we run short.

A neighbour does have a delivery 3 times a week......I small carton. It must cost soo much more than the supermarket these days.

Can contact my milk man up to 9pm the evening before delivery. Delivers eggs, fruit juice, potatoes, cheese and many other things. Saves lugging them back from the supermarket.

[Baldric]

No, far too easy to pick up milk with the weekly shop
so why would I want it left on the door step?

[Mick-Talbot]

4 Pints 6 eggs and 5 yogurts on a wednesday please.

milkman 60p a pint supermarket £1 four pints, no contest.

[DaisyNonna]

Public transport and walk from bus stop. Bus fare would negate saving at supermarket. Canary, I can do that. MT that would be ok.
