Blame The German Owners:

We have supported our local milkman over many years; first of all it was Express Dairy; hence the name
"Express Way, Newbury".
Then they were taken over by Unigate, and latterly the German company Muller aka
"Milk & More".
They have just reverted to glass bottles again.

The papers have indicated that milkmen are seeing an upturn in new customers,
but after all this time, they're about to lose me.
Just had slip with our delivery today (we have just 3 a week), that milk has
gone up in price by 4p a pint.
Not a way to encourage customers, by further widening price with retailers.

My parents now in their 90's loyally used their Milk & More milkman until a few years ago. When it snowed heavily he deciced he couldn't get down their road. Rather than carry the milk down it appears it was excepatble fo 90 year olds to walk down a steeper hill to the supermarket.

No service at all when they needed it. Hopefully the milkman will lose his job and pension!

Every sympathy to your parent's plight but the milkman/postman/uncle tom cobley man is not a social services employee and it would be grossly irresponsible of him to place not only himself but his commodities at risk. Perhaps you could pop into the shop and buy them a pint of milk?
