    Mackintoshes used to come round with fizzy drinks in a lorry but you're far too young to remember them, that was when I was a kid!

    So goonerhater, what do you think the demise of the milkman is all about ?

    For it to work, you need someone in a household to he at home all day, and prepared to pay a premium for one item they could add to their weekly shop, mainly out of sentiment.

    There is enough of that in my surrounding roads to make that viable for a round, but its no real surprise its not widespread, is it ?

    Not sure who GH blames, but I lay the blame squarely at the door of Tescos, not only for the steady demise if the milky, but also the local butcher/fish monger/fruit & veg man etc! plus they're the ones who nearly put me out if business in my little shop Fookers!
  • Surprised not mentioned that before Rob... Can't blame people for wanting cheaper stuff. And everyone uses milk so if can get 25p a pint then why would you use a milkman. I wouldn't get my paper delivered if twice the price of buying at shop.
  • I dont blame anyone mate (other
    than Ken Livingston,DianeAbbot---all Goonershit supporters and lefy/commies who of course are always to blame).

    I leave for work early in the mornings and the other morning when the sun was coming up over Kidbrooke ithought" i wonder why you dont see Milkos anymore?
