Milk & More taking the proverbial, Big hike in milk price Options

[gel]

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.

Milk should be at least thirty pence a litre more than it is now, and all of the increase should go to the producers.

Whilst not arguing with you that milk should be more expensive what is your reasoning for it being 30p or more?

And when you say the producrs do you mean the farmers or do you include the dairies as well?

I know the farmers often say that milk costs more to produce than they get paid, presumably the difference is absorbed as part of their subsidies.

Maybe post brexit we should focus on paying the correct price for our food and paying allowance to the farmers for protecting the environment.
