Things I’ve learned since moving out of London #01
Not all milk has to be purchased from the supermarket, or from the all-night corner shop. There are still milkmen out there. You can still wake up to a bottle on your doorstep, without fear of someone stealing it. The only difference from my previous experience of milkmen (BL - Before London) is that the ‘Use By’ date is embossed on the little foil lid now.
Of course in the old days we had full-fat milk in tall bottles. Now we’re getting skimmed milk, which the milkman scoffed at and called ‘dishwater’.
