When I was a child, the only person who wakes up the kid in the morning is a milkman. I remembered that the milkman delivers milk to us. Eventually, the “chocolait” was introduced. The interesting part is the Magnolia bottles are so inviting. Now, they milkman is not roaming around. It seems time runs so fast and a lot of things had changed.
At present, you can have milk bottles in the supermarket. There are so many brands that you can choose from.

@Shavkat Yes. But then, milk was processed in a different way. Now you can keep closed cartons out of the refrigerator for some months.

Not around my area anymore.
In England, when I lived there, there were milkmen.

I don't even think my mom had a milkman, but grandma did, I guess it is good to not have a milkman anymore, you know how much spoiled milk would happen? It would be so sad and smelly haha

@DesirousDreamer I agree. I hope the milkman has mobile phone. We can contact them to cancel the milk.

Before yes.
He used to leave us the milk in Glass bottles and they used to make a clinking noise when he put them outside on the step.
Here that does not happen at all.
Like you say its all in the Shops.

@Shavkat
Up until a few years ago they were doing it also around here.
Now they don´t do that at all.
Most Farm Land is blocked off except for workers.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I think it is nice if they have extra cash for selling fresh milk to the locals. I haven't seen it here, too. Even if I go to my granny's farmland, no one tried to offer fresh milk anymore.

@Shavkat Before my mother married the family had a dairy and supplied the local town. Mostly folk left out a jug or billy which Mum's brother would fill with milk. At one house there was no jug so my uncle went into the house into the kitchen, found a container and filled it with milk.

Yep we still have milkmans here delivering milk. Although I prefer packaged milk as they are considered better than the one brought by milkman.

@Blushandglow I think it is not a good practice. It is better to know the milkman to prevent cheating us.

@Shavkat true, here in India most of the milkmen secretly add water in the milk to increase the quantity, thereby cheating the customer and making more money. And you cant be sure of the quality of water they add.

Oh ya the time has changed a lot but at my place the milkman still comes to give us milk but it's not pure milk as it used to be in previous time. He mixes 1 part milk with 2 part water. I bought him red handed one day when he was mixing. But had no option so he is still here.

@Shavkat Yeah, we have milk men here too. I'm from a rural part of India, and we are still dependent on them. There was an old & loyal milkman we had, i liked him very much, who did the job for us for almost 16 or so years and now he retired. Another young one does the job.

@Mass_Sonu I think the healthy drinks is not expensive then. That would be nice to serve on the table with the family.

@Shavkat No I live in the
UK! It's not as common as it
used to be but in many areas
people aren't close to the shops.
We also have vans that go round
selling meat, fish, fruit and veg!
The stuff is usually better than the
stuff in the supermarkets. It's also
great for the elderly or people who
struggle to get out.

We used to have milkmen in this country, in fact my dad was one, but now milk is only delivered to stores. I wish I had a milkman it would be nice to have that home delivery.

There used to be a milkman when I was a kid. I liked it! My job was to put the empty milk bottles out on the back porch at night. The milkman would come in the morning, take the empty bottles and leave fresh bottles of milk. Sometimes my mom would also get orange juice.
