Even Co-op work out cheaper than the milk man which is a sorry state of affairs to some extent. I would love to have it delivered, couple pint bottles left out on your doorstep for a couple of hours before you get up always used to love how cold it was which the fridge regardless of setting can never reproduce.

it's only cheaper at the supermarket or co-op if you walk and not drive there, what with the price of fuel these days. |

In answer to the question "who has milk delivered?" Rich people, or people who live in remote areas... who in turn are usually rich. If I was rich, I'd live in a remote area, and also have my milk delivered. Firstly for the conveniance and secondly to piss the milkman off. Sadly I'm not rich  |

I still have it delivered I cant understand though that since we have been having bad weather i still get my milk delivered every day but I havent had my bin emptied for two weeks? Is it maybe something to do with the financial incentive? Council = allready paid = cba. Milkman = Its my living = best get it delivered or he will go to Tesco and I'll never see him again. |
