The things that I really, really like thread...

One of my earliest memories is sitting in the front garden watching my Dad trying to stop the horse eating our honeysuckle hedge

:icon_lol:

I used to get told off for getting to the doorstep first and getting to the bottle of full fat and swinging it from the bottle.

Milk Floats...
I still see one around on certain estates.
We used to sit on the back of our local one and get a lift to school in the 70's.....Oh imagine the health and safety!

We still get ours delivered. It's more expensive than the supermarket but it's covenient and I like the re-use of the glass bottles. Our milkman comes really early - about 4 o'clock. I've only ever seen him once, I think.

And we used to get rides on the milk float around our village in the '70s. And we'd collect Humphrey badges and associated tat.

This is what happens in leafy areas. The rest of us make do with the supermarket. Either that or it's further evidence of you being the leader of the Socialist Elite.

It's autumn now though so unless the milkman has a leaf-plough attached to his cart, he'll never make it through.

Not a Milkman but I remember as a kid one of my Uncle's was a Pop Man. Used to love helping him when he did his round over our way....by helping, that meant sitting on the back of the van, surrounded by crates filled with Pop eating his stocks of crisps. Happy days

 

[PPB]

Maybe I should start to look only at houses in very leafy areas

Just think it's nice that you can wake up, open the door, and there's your fresh milk.

I do that - but the door is my fridge.

Oh bloody hell yeah, remember the Pop Man! We used to fight over the Dandelion & Burdock.

Not the same.

No fight from me...Dandelion and Burdock is fucking vile

I bloody loved it back then. Although if I tried it now, I might not be too keen. We used to have the Corona Man. His Limeade was our next favourite.

Off to try me porridge.

It's not fresh and warm out of the cow y'know.

Corona was the pop my Uncle delivered.

Cream Soda was ace.

I'm amazed you have any teeth left. That stuff was just dissolved sugar.

Explains why I was a hyper little shit back in my yoof then

That was the one that usually went flat in our house. Not a fan.

Should have swapped the Soda for the D&B with us then. Would have saved a load of wasted pop that...(why my Mum couldn't just say "don't bother leaving that rank shit, leave an extra Orangeade or something" I don't know)

Drains can't clean themselves I guess.
