Doorstep delivery?

I saw this on Twitter.

Wales beat Italy

Who beat Scotland

Who beat France

Who beat Ireland

Who beat England.


Therefore Wales must be champions.

Sounds about right to me. We might be bottom of the table but in our hearts we're the champions.

We have milk delivered to our door in glass bottles. We've always done it that way.

We are currently considering/arguing about whether to give up. Husband grumbles because it's far more expensive than milk in the supermarket but I like the convenience, and the fact that bottles are recycled. Normally the only problems we've had have been birds pecking the tops. That was resolved by leaving a tile out for the milkman to put on top.

But this milkman is driving us closer to giving up. 

The last few deliveries he's left at the top of the steps. Not so convenient but we didn't complain. 

This morning he left the milk outside the front gate. We also have one full and one being-filled crates outside our door. 

Can you see those little white things outside the gate? (This is from our bedroom window.)
I've written to complain. And threatened to cancel.

Wow, home milk delivery like that ended here in Canada when I was a small child 60 years ago.

How I wish we had that here expensive or not. Do they do butter and cream also?

I get my groceries delivered. This week it includes milk. So yes, make it easier for you.

It's not so common here anymore sadly, or I'd change deliverers.

I suppose you're used to it now.

Liz Hinds said...

They do, and you can order other things from them.

And it's just a link to my childhood, though that might sound silly.

i don't know when I last saw a milk bottle, or milk delivery for that matter.

There is one company here that delivers milk in glass bottles. Their delivery area is very small and the prices very steep.
