    MikeDragon32 was going to dig one out on the last thread there was...

    in the menatime, here's a milkman you don't want arriving on your doorstep...unless you are Mrs O'Reilly!

    hmmmmmm I dunno, decent pair of beer goggles would sort him out :D

    I use the milkman - steady - and its great, he delivers at the crack of dawn, and brings you back as he collects his cash on a Friday evening.

    I'll PM the contact number, or do the Mods want it for the Useful Numbers ?

    I used that guy for a while - but cancelled as I could never get him to cancel if I was on Hols and was never able to change the order as I over estimated the amount I needed at the start. Rang about 10 times and told the guy who collected the money everytime but no joy!

    Yep, in the end I nearly lost it with him. He would credit one week and then charge double the next. I gave him a week more than he was owed and told him not to come back. More trouble than it was worth and not at all reliable.

    I can only speak for my own experience, haven't had any problems.....

    i had problems too. Unreliable. Order wrong more often than not. No milk sometimes. Burst cartons other times. The guy not listening when i was telling him the problems, and then when i cancelled altogether he kept delivering for 2 more weeks. Not worth it. I was all on for paying a little over the odds for the convenience of it and rewarding initiative despite living beside squinn, but they're shooting themselves in the foot by making a balls of it. It can't be that hard. I hope they've improved. It was a few months ago.

    Yep, I waited until posting the above to see if anyone else had problems. You cant behave the way he does and not have problems.

    I must be the lucky exception so :D

    There is a guy from Kilcoole who may still be delivering milk...cant remember his name though. He was always reliable when I used him.
