Milk Rounds

Does anyone still have a MillMan.
We do and I want my folks to cancel it as he seems to be a rip off. A 2.5L of Avonmore milk for €3 plus €1 delivery per week.
I know it's only €3 but instead of picking up milk when you do the shop, it's very expensive?

My brother is a milkman. Still plenty of need for it in rural ireland

anncoates

You have a pint there.

PizzamanIRL

Expensive because you're paying to cover his costs. Surely they should use the shop.

Now to ride Mrs O Reilly!

We have one deliver once a week. When I was younger it was far more frequent.

It's a brilliant service. We're in rural Ireland. 4 miles to a shop. We don't pay any delivery charge. The pinta may be a bit more expensive than what can be got in supermarkets but it's well worth it to have delivery to the door.

Is it expensive compared to your local shop? €2.50 per 2.75 litre Avonmore from tesco. A litre of the Avonmore branded milk costs 1.40 in a local shop hereabouts. Unadvertised local co-op brand is 20% cheaper per carton.

It's just a cover for the milkman to roger your oul wan, be aware OP.

I'll always remember the morning in December when I was working as a milkman.....

Anyway, put two pints of silvertop on a doorstep one morning in Dec (few days before Christmas).

Next thing I know the front door opens, and this fine one, dressed in a negligee summons me in to the house, not one for arguing, I followed her in, to which she used her index finger to summons me to follow her, next thing I know I'm in the bedroom were she proceeds to get starkers, strip's me naked too, then straddles me, and rode the bejaysis out of me......

We both climaxed, next thing I know she's leading me back down the stairs and into the kitchen, where she had one of the biggest and nicest breakfasts laid out I have ever seen. There was sausage, eggs, rashers, puddings, mushrooms, pancakes, toast, pots of tea, ahh it was delicious....

I ate all put in front of me, and said thanks, to Which she placed a pound coin I my hand.......

At this stage I thought it better I actually ask what the hell was going on....

"excuse me, what's all this about? " I asked...." I mean, I'm not complaining, but I've just had some of the best sex ever with you, then you bring me down stairs to the biggest brekkie I've ever had, and after that you hand me a pound coin? "

She replied.... " well.... I was asking the husband what we should give the milkman for Christmas, he said ah fcuk him, give em a pound"..... "the breakfast was my idea".....

Aye, bulk buy your milk in the shop and stick it in the freezer until you need it...

I used to get milk delivered. We'd get litres and then some of the little kids milks delivered for my son's lunch. Someone must have told the milkman that he'd died because he just stopped delivering the little cartons.

Haven't had it delivered since I moved out of that house.

I used to get vegetables delivered too when I lived outside of dublin.

Now I go get everything myself! A inmate supermilk all the way

The milk man collects milk from my farm every three days.

The Peanut

Worked on a milk round every other weekend in college. I died every other weekend. Fell out of club and grabbed crap from chipper; in bed by 3. Alarm clock - in the form of the milkman trying to wake me - went off at 3.50. I was a pity and died for the next 5hrs.

They were only any use when they'd be out very early in the morning, even when I'd be heading out the door for work, birds putting holes in the bottle caps etc etc.

See one around the area every now and then delivering around midnight the night before.

I mean, WTF is that all about ?

Roger Hassenforder

Have three sucky calves and wouldn't be without it, we'll worth the few shekels of having to get up off my Swiss and get it myself.

My folks used to get milk delivered when I was little, back when it was in bottles and they'd deliver about 7am. Every day it'd be a bottle short but the milkman swore up and down it had been delivered so my dad set a sting operation. Turned out some gurrier was helping himself to a bottle of milk from our doorstep on his way to work and dropping the empty bottle back in the evening. Cheeky fcker.

Pumpkinseeds

Some of our neighbours have milk delivered and since we have a corner shop and 3 local supermarkets I can't understand why. I often pass their houses in the middle of the day and the milk is still on the doorstep since early morning.

Voodoomelon

We use to have an egg man, how fancy is that?

Toots

I live in an apartment so not much call for a milkman here. I'd imagine he'd find negotiating the corridors in the milk float a bit of a challenge.

When I was a little kid we would get the milk delivered, and there was a little sign that looked like a clock, which you'd put in the window and move the 'hand' to how many pints you'd like. Our milkman also delivered bread and eggs, and (for some reason) Red Lemonade.

I am the milkman of human kindness - I will leave an extra pint

I honestly did not think there were still milkman, in this day an age O_O

why?

milk lasts 3-4 days easy enough
do most people, using milkmen, not leave their homes twice a week?

Gael23

We do. She charges €6.50 for 4 litres a week which isn't too much extra.

Three litres is 2.19 . It's a good bit extra.
