I would rather get milk from the milkman instead of supermarket. Glass is better then plastic

As a foreigner who once studied in london, I love this british milk man and milk glass bottle thing.

My mum, who lived in mid-Cheshire until she died 18 months ago had a milkman. I'd love to have a milkman but I live in a second floor flat in a block.

you might be able to get it delivered to a box on the street outside

If a way can be found of granting them entry through the outer doors,they could deliver to your door. Same goes for the postman.

They could also bring farm produce, fresh bread, etc. to those who request it. In switzerland you can have subscription to get vegetables every week from the farm but it's kind of a rip-off money-wise.

Amazon will do that for some kind of subscription at much cheaper price soon. Amazon will be the world soon. Everyone will be working for Amazon soon.

I use this company, and the milk taste's so much better then the white water they have in supermarkets.

2 things I will say here. Firstly, if the price was more competitive, I would be signing up. I use about 4pts a week and so the cost of a milkman over Tesco is more than double. Secondly, if they advertised themselves, there could be a lot more people signing up. They just take customers for granted. Flyers, newspapers, online ads. The lot. I never see any adverts at all for these types of services.

It could become popular again , with the recent campaigns to reduce plastic packaging, back in the 80's and earlier most drinks bottles were glass and many were deposit returnable, only problem was, glass made the product alot heavier to transport compared to plastic.

Not just waste, but from the emissions standpoint too! With all the encouragement for electric vehicles nowadays, why not remember the original EVs...

my childhood our milkman was named bob he used to even bring chocolate out of his own money for us also so sweet - from Wales

Totally support this. Would be great to see the original style electric milk float on our streets. The only downside for some people is paying pretty much double the price for this service. Most people are used to buying cheap milk from supermarkets, £1 pound for 4 pints whereas milkman is 80-90 pence per pint. Although people would happily support this because it make total sense in many ways, the price will be a bitter pill to swallow for some..

I remember it when I was little

Good job sir

We should bring back the milkman in the US.

YES! THE MILKMEN ARE BACK!

This is fab! I remember Fred the milkman delivery our milk in the 70s! My b-i-l is a milkman!

ooo and that Devon cream thick in the glass bottles they would bring

Oh wow I totally forgot about these guys used to get them to are house when I was a little kid, kind of stopped for us after 2003 though

Forget about recycling for this, having a milkman means that your glass bottles are simply cleaned and reused continuously.

*Yes!*

Interesting, I'm intrigued by the fact those milk floats are all Q reg vehicles and have clearly been extensively modified since they were originally built.

KarlosBricks these ones are not very old. 1998 I think. Some dairies have 70s ones

I guess he has seen it ALL !

I used to have a milkman

I had a great-uncle who was a milkman which seems so archaic but in this era of home delivery it seems great. We have a Schwan's truck go by our neighborhood but at $11 for a box of ice cream sandwiches that's a bit much.

I do not like milk but it is a very good idea. Any drink tastes better from glass than from plastic or aluminium.

Funny how a German company is helping keeping British milk tradition alive

fantastic so happy to see this wish the states would do it too so much better the milk with that cream on the top, I remember Gold Top was fabbbbbbbbbb

An american here. I am all for the idea of the milkman returning. Because we can reuse the glass bottles! Dont have to worry about the plastic cartons getting dumped or being out there in the wild hurting animals. I say we bring back the milkman in the USA also.

I get my milk and juice from this company and they literally just collected and dropped off more tonight haha

BBC is the best. I live in the USA, but these stories are still relevant, relatable and compelling.

I didn't know this is an actual thing!! I thought milkman only exists in books! And they have film to prove it!!!

Just go to your local milkman. This milk and more place is a huge corporation, the same guys who make supermarket stuff anyway lol! Find your local dairy and ask them.

I'm on the lookout for a local milkman (or woman) to start having my milk delivered to my doorstep again,as of old - in glass bottles for the sake of the environment. David Attenborough's The Blue Planet did the world a service exposing the hideous problem with plastic waste to households here. It was only a couple of economically adverse periods that forced me to slash costs that stopped my custom in the past,though I was uneasy from the start about the potential impact single-use plastic bottles and the steady driving of milkmen out of business from the late 80s until recently. I wanted to do this anyway but this has come back onto my agenda because I wish to (reluctantly) give the swerve to the shops because of the queues and now mask rules. I was fine with hand sanitising and social distancing. If I can find a milk round that will deliver to me I envisage retaining my custom with them for keeps,even after the restrictions (becoming more draconian at the same time as relaxing the social distance rules - wtf) in the shops are ended.

In Norway we just use milk cartons, that we deliver to recycling. No plastic or milk man here.

They reuse the glass bottles only 25 times. For them to create less polution than from plastic bottles, they would have to reuse them thousands of times

Don't forget that "pollution" doesn't just mean CO2, but also plastic waste in streams/oceans/etc. That's the reason most people are worried about it (glass is much easier to recycle as well once you can't reuse the bottles)

Expensive but

He is the milkman His milk is delicious

Wow ! A story about a white Brit. Not some story about hijabs. Support your milkmen.

indeed its very British.

That's great news...

father ted - speed 3

this is better because in plastic there is microplastic which is dangerous to the environment and yourself as well

the milk man milk in london have a nice taste not like the milk you can buy from safeway.

Many foreign car factories in order to make the most Chinese can afford a car,they move out the important functions of a car,that's why cars r very cheap in China,but with the very high tax,the results is most Chinese still can't afford a car with very little functions
