OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today? II

[Tim]

Mine still does.

I wish I could do the same Martin, it stopped around here about 8 or 9 years ago

If you go further into west Wales you can still get real milk. My sister in law has great milk, delivered by her milkman in bottles. I don't use it now, black tea, black coffee and I have porridge with water and salt like the Scot's. Haven't had boxed breakfast cereal and milk for breakfast for over 20 years.

I drink black tea since back when I was a student and couldn't afford luxuries like milk. 250 Happy Shopper tea bags would last me a few weeks.

I do drink a glass of milk per day and have breakfast cereal so that's where it goes. 2 pints a week. I think it is about £1.10 a pint though.

For a long time we had no milk delivery here but it started back up again just after covid.

I'd happily pay that for decent milk

Yep, it was those little 1/3 pint sun-toasted bottles of milk at primary school that did it for me. The dirty bastards.

I must have been lucky, we got them cold.

I remember drinking those, sitting crossed legged on the floor listening to our teacher (who I fancied) reading us The Hobbit.

We have Milk&More who deliver in glass bottles.

It'd break my heart if they stopped the service.

I've always drunk masses of milk, from the pyramid cartoons at school to modern day. 11 pints a week in some way, shape or form. A lot goes in coffee and cereals, though.

I used to drink a lot, loved a Cadbury's chocolate bar and ice cold milk.

Now the chocolate is some sort of American Frankenstein shite, that tastes nothing like Cadbury's and the milk is rank, so I don't bother with either.

The enshitiffication of everything.

Same here. The milk was delivered in crates with bottles leaking and the milk lukewarm even in Winter. We were forced to drink the muck. I can still smell it and the taste was enough to make me heave. Hated milk since then. I can just about tolerate a tablespoon of fully skimmed, ice cold milk on cereals but that's it.
