to think my milkman comes way too early

[thelunar66]

Just been to put out a cheque to pay milk bill, only to find milk on step... bastard has been already!!!! Jeez!!!

You have a milkman..do you live in the 50's..i haven't seen a milkman for years...maybe i just get up too late{grin]

Yes thats a bit odd,,,
But rofl at your title

Sod it,i meant

My milkman comes far too early too.

It isn't good enough.

I'm with you thelunar. In fact if I hear the milkman coming then I now I'm up mumsnetting too late.

Moral - it's great having a milkman - not late night trips to the co-op for forgotten milk.

How much innuendo can one get in a milkman thread.

LOL at MNers thinking my milkman has a hair-trigger problem

His name is Mark by the way.

and... MoralDefective... I do not live in the 50s... I merely live oooop north where will still have milkmen.

He sounds nice and I'm sure he has no problems at all.

When I was in my early twenties I'd always forget to buy milk and when I sorted out the issue my team at work said "MMM says that having a milkman has changed her life"

Ah MMM, but did he roll up leaving his deposits at a few mins after midnight and then wondering why he never got paid??? eh??

I'm down South and my milkman is called Colin, although I've never met him (just occasionally heard him). Despite this, he still invites us to nominate him for "milkman of the year" every Christmas.

Wow... there is a 'milkman of the year'??? wow again.

What do they have to do to get nominated? Turn up very very early, like before you actually go to bed?

My thoughts entirely thelunar66. But he still pops that nomination slip through our door every 12 months.

My elderly neighbour has just sold up to move into a swanky sheltered living place, she was the last person on the street to have the milkman.
No more Xavier
Seriously, he's called Xavier. If only I was a milk drinker.

mine comes about 4:30 so if i hear him then i know i'm up too late

but wow that is waaay too early lunar

is he as good looking as i imagine?

I'd nominate a Xavier to be milkman of the year. I imagine a very trendy milkman in chinos and a cravat and Italian shoes of the softest leather. Bet his soft shoes don't wake you at midnight eh?

Where is Xavier's round? Does he drop you that leaflet around christmas offering fruit cakes and double cream etc? but only if you order 3 weeks in advance.

i bet his float is still loud though! why don't they make noiseless milk floats yet? i mean! really! in this day and age, we still have creaky milk floats

Xavier sounds hot. I imagine Colin to look <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45943000/jpg/_45943417_bbc_royle_little203x300.jpg&imgrefurl=news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/entertainment/newsid_8107000/8107656.stm&usg=__Ue-FqbmXR4yvUJ2t2rNpfSsBUkg=&h=300&w=203&sz=20&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=8bQdQHMOB_iZAM:&tbnh=129&tbnw=97&prev=/images%3Fq%3Droyle%2Bfamily%2Bdave%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1235%26bih%3D702%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=514&ei=EVd4TLH5HNKBswbl3rWyDQ&oei=EVd4TLH5HNKBswbl3rWyDQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=25&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0&tx=56&ty=46" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> like this

Dunno about all that - I've never been on the recieving end of Xaviers good stuff.
The elderly neighbour always seemed pleased to be taking delivery of his stock though.

He looks a bit like Danny Baker. Tell you what, if he did wear a cravat I'd bloody well sign up.
How cool would that be, to have a cravat-wearing milkman called Xavier?

pmsl at colin!

Noiseless floats would have to be electric wouldn't they?

I live at least 30 miles from the depot so battery would die.

Rural milkman, Mark, has a noisy engine, but I still didnt hear him turn up at just after midnight as I was mumsnetting. He must have tiptoed over my gravel.

I shall withold his cheque and see how he responds

Suburban and electric here

fallingwithstyle, milkmen do juice deliveries too! and yogurt. any good?

can i make a confession? i only get the milkmans milk so i can eat the cream off the top and for the joy of opening my door in the morning to fresh bottles with dewdrops on them, it reminds me of my childhood

the milk we actually drink is from the co op

Oh MrsRB... do you actually get (gasp) glass bottles???
