I have had milk straight from the cow once when staying on a farm as a child and helped milk the cows.
I remember it was very creamy. Or seemed so.

When I first came to live in  my present village in 1975 I used to go to the local farm with a small milk can and buy milk straight from the farmer.   After the farmer died the farm no longer had cattle  I had to start buying it in Supermarkets, it  is mostly sold in one litre cardboard containers, not plastic.  Raw milk is still available from farmers but nowhere nearby. I loved the taste of milk straight from the cow.

My wife orders a large container of skimmed milk from Sainsbury's. I also drink Alpro including a chocolate one.
For years we had milk delivered but they went to just 3 times a week and then stopped delivering.

Yup still glass bottles. We have the option of plastic, which are cheaper, but Mrs DM is old fashioned and quite likes the idea of the glass bottle!

I do too.

We still have the milkman, from 'local' farms. As if Stafford is local to Solihull!  It generally lasts a week.

My milk is still delivered in glass bottles Dickie is yours.

I've had my cousin from Cheshire here and he was astounded to see the glass bottles.

Remember when semi milk was introduced in the early eighties, was still having the milk delivered to the door, but when I changed over from full milk to seni skimmed, even putting the milk staight into the fridge, it went off very quickly.  So cancelled the milkman and starting getting it from my local supermarket, which I've continued to this day.  Currently getting my two litres of milk from Farmfoods for the last two months for just £1.
