Do you like buying milk...?

Question

... in a supermarket?

I miss the old fashioned (blimey, I'm only 40) cheery British milk man. Our lives become less rich the longer we spend in those devil-child supermakets.

WHAT ASPECT FROM BRITISH LIFE DO YOU MISS FROM YOUR PAST?

Answer 1

Wasps are getting bigger and there are less of them. It's almost like every pair got together and merged into one giant one. Bees, are the same as ever though, so that's cool.

Answer 2

The rag and bone man still comes on my street. And I get milk delivered from the milkman. You can see if there is a round in your area http://www.dairycrest.co.uk

So you don't have to go to the supermarket! Also the milkmen deliver potatoes, bread, juice and lots of other things especially around Christmas.

Also I shop in the market a lot in town.

I live in Luton.... not the country or anything. See you can still have the old fashioned British things in the middle of a town, you just have to find them.

Answer 3

Sunday closing and half day Wednesdays - now we can buy milk 24/7!

I miss having only 3 or 4 channels on the TV and I miss the test card lol

Answer 4

Even thought I am not in England I miss the milkman and there used to be a baker that come around once a week I miss that too and the mr whipy van so you could get a icecream on a hot summers day!

Answer 5

I still have the old fashioned milkman who comes at 5.00am...but if i do run out of milk and have to buy it from the supermarket i end up spending and getting more than i went in for...no good on the purse

Answer 6

I'm not British, but I love buying milk from the supermarket. I just have this thing for grocery shopping...

Answer 7

I don't buy milk unless I know someone is coming for tea (cow's milk is for baby cows in my view). I miss having the postman deliver only a letter from someone I knew instead of the masses of junk mail we get everyday. I miss the one on one telephone conversations when you 'phoned a company, now it is all automated and call centres.

Answer 8

Wait a minute, what did u do with the milkman. Coz if its just the milk issue I am happy with the supermarket one.

Answer 9

The bit where I grew up and no chavs were in sight, i'm only 20, but then im educated and have a future. When did all these miscreants and morons appear roaming the streets. I didnt become one.
Fu**ing Chavs.

Answer 10

I love buying milk, my favourite milk buying day is Friday, I tend to call it 'Milk Friday', its fab, this one time, i bought 4 pints at once (mad, cos i only needed 3!). I used to buy full fat, and that really got me going, but i pilled the pounds on, so back to semi skimmed now. remember, a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!! Long live the cow!
