The milkman has just been!

[briebuiltthiscity]

It’s just before 2am am up in bed but not asleep and heard what I think is breaking glass outside. So I dash to the window.
Live in a small cul-de-sac and there have been a couple of catalytic converters stolen from cars recently and this I I’m going to catch a car thief in the act.

It’s a milkman doing a delivery! Is this the time they come now?!

@quince2figs

You can decant milk into one of these (get two so one can go in the dishwasher when it’s empty).

The half-litre one shouldn’t be too hard for children to lift.

@FamilyOfAliens, great idea, thanks. Where is that jug from?

My milkman is always her before midnight. I sometimes here him stop outside (we live on a really quiet road, no other traffic at that time of night).

There is another milkman delivers on our estate and I’ve noticed he sometimes doesn’t come until after people have left for work, so milk isn’t sat out all day which isn’t ideal.

Ours has sometimes come before we went to bed so a bit after midnight. I think they are not normally that early though!

eBay or Amazon.

In bygone days I got mine from a little hardware shop down the road

Thanks!

A fair way off topic but some birds in the UK can no longer access milk from bottles because people buy from supermarkets.
