    Skip forward to about 2 weeks ago, knock on the door. Its some 11 year old girl, with a waiting car, giving me a bill 'for the milk' I told her we hadn't signed up for the milkman service, she gave me the bill anyway.
    why didn't you walk out to the waiting car and ask the driver whats the story?

    I assumed it was just a mistake, he'd realize when he looked at his bill, no problem.

    Haha

    What did you do, hide underneath the window? Why didn't you answer the door and say we don't get your milk from him? I'm sure he has it written down who gets milk. OP did you use it and think he wouldn't notice? Is your address on the receipt? Why even take it off the little girl?

    He'll keep adding on and on if you're not upfront with him. Them milk rounds used to be worth a fortune.

    have you any cats that could be robbing the milk off of the doorstep before you get out of bed?

    or students, though you normally consent to a milk delivery before they deliver.

    There is a guy in our area who sells fruit and veg door to door but with supermarkets everywhere I do not know how he does any business.

    the travellers are still selling their carpets.

    I had a similar problem lately, some guy claiming he was from the council called to the door claiming I owed him some tax for me house, first of all it was €100, then the cn ut came back claiming I owed him interest as well, I told him I owned me house and to do one before I called the garda, he said the garda would do nothing and that I would have to pay. You have to stand up to these cn uts, open the door and tell this "milkman" that one, you didn't ask for milk, two, you didn't get milk and three that if he doesn't get stop calling around that you will end him.

    OP, you need a delivery of some new balls, install them, and then answer the door(YOUR OWN FECKIN DOOR)confidently and tell him to go forth and multiply. With a bit of luck, he will chin you one, and you can then take him to the cleaners for assault. That or he will feck off. This is actually a nuts thread, btw. Unreal. Grow some and man up to him ffs.

    Crazy isnt it :P
    Back in the day, or even up to the early 90s I should say, milkmen was a great job to have. Funny the way certain professions just fade away along with the times.


    Wonder what current job in these times will fade away.

    And when the girl showed up the following day why didn't you walk out to the car and talk to the driver?

    Cos either the girl posted it through the letterbox, or the car wasn't near by.

    About six weeks ago now, this bloke came round the house, said he was starting a milkman service, asking if I was interested. His prices were even more of a rip off than centra, so I politely declined, as is the way.

    Skip forward to about 2 weeks ago, knock on the door. Its some 11 year old girl, with a waiting car, giving me a bill 'for the milk' I told her we hadn't signed up for the milkman service, she gave me the bill anyway. At the time, that was 39 euro. We hadn't asked for milk, or got any, so I assumed it'd just go away. Wrong. This girl has been every day, and the bills gone up, every day. Absolute nonsense. Bout 20 minutes ago, the bloke in question turned up, rang the bell about 7 times, hammered on the window, banged the letterbox. Didn't leave for about 20 minutes

    What do I do about this AH?

    Tell him you have no contract with him or ever had. If he comes back on ur property you have to call the garda. Tell him he has no right to be on ur property . If he calls again you may take legal action against him.

    Has anyone made a father ted reference yet? I'm sure there's a good joke to be made with that. I'm not that funny though.

    Do you have a blurred type window in the middle of your front door OP ?

    If so, approach it slowly completely naked next time he knocks, brandishing a large knife. Let hilarity ensue !

    Seriously though tell him to go get ****ed.

    I think its avenmore. He's never actually given us any milk, yet his bill is now up to 57.40. Absolute madness.

    This guy is milking it, pure scam he is selling watered down gear passing it off as avenmore. Get on to avonmore in the morning. Sorted

    Yea, it's weird that there haven't been any Ted references yet. Ah well, hopefully someone will add them later. Fingers crossed.
