    It was just standard milk that was being delivered also that you'd easily get in the shop.

    It's just normal branded milk you could buy at the supermarket anyway.

    Ah crap, the cats out of the bag!!! What magical milk had you imagined?

    I would only do this if it would make me able to get raw unpasteurized milk. Back in the Netherlands we always went to a farm to get raw, unpasteurized milk. And nope it doesn't make you sick as long as you drink it on the same day and you don't have a compromised immune system. Just dont give it to young children, pregnant women or the elderly.

    Depends where you are in the country but you can get raw milk here. It's legal since a few years.

    What's the difference in taste?

    It has a much milder taste. You should compare the two side by side some time.

    We live in Dublin and have milk delivered three times per week. Use a handy app which allows us to make changes pause etc and it works out cheap enough.
    Handy with kids who love drinking gallons of milk

    Not hygienic is it in this and age. Summer and stuff is half warm if you get up late. We had a guy with a milk float for years when I was young. Always remembered the old glass bottles of milk with foil caps. The birds would peck through them some days and the creamy top if it was left in the sun to long. Plus side the guy used to give us lifts on the float Ted was his name oldest guy long gone I guess now.

    Used to be a rural delivery around here and we used it but was standard tetra paks. If there was a problem it was that we often ended up with a surplus, however the route became unprofitable and he just sticks to delivering to shops now etc.

    Our milkman delivers three days a week. Handy service to have.

    Fresh milk directly from a farmer I guess.

    When I lived in Dublin I got it delivered.
    Now I have to walk the shop like a common pygmy.

    That website says there's 10 stockists in the Dublin region. Did you check out all the websites listed under the Dublin stockists tab?
